In this monumental work, Raphael Patai opens up an entirely new
field of cultural history by tracing Jewish alchemy from antiquity
to the nineteenth century. Until now there has been little
attention given to the significant role that Jews played in the
field of alchemy. Here, drawing on an enormous range of previously
unexplored sources, Patai reveals that Jews were major players in
what was for centuries one of humanity's most compelling
intellectual obsessions.
