A work on Alchemy by Geber, The Most Experienced Arabian Prince and Philosopher. “Geber was the name ascribed to the author of a series of alchemical treatises which began to appear in the Latin West in the middle of the 13th century. These treatises included the Summa Perfectionis Magesterii; De Investigatione Perfectionis; De Inventione Veritatis; Liber Fornacum and Testamentum, which were usually printed together between the 15th and 17th centuries. These were known until the nineteenth century to be translations of works originally written in Arabic by Jābir ibn Ḥayyān. His name, in the Latin form 'Geber', became widely celebrated. The Summa was so successful that, according to George Sarton, it became the main chemical textbook in medieval Europe, and its author was called “the father and founder of chemistry” by some Western historians."
