This relatively short text of alchemy appears in the form of an elongated question and answer session. First translated into the English language by the famous AE Waite at the dawn of the 20th century, it speaks of topics then long dated; vapor in the earth creating gold, transmutation of metals, the creation of Venus and Saturn. Though short, for this content, it is one of the greater works of alchemy and contains as well admonishments to the reader to read certain other notable works of the same subject, including the Turba Philosophorum.
