O God, how through nature, doth thou change a body into a soul:
which could not be done, if the soul were not incorporated with the
bodies, and the bodies made volatile with the soul, and afterwards
permanent and fixed. For this cause sake, they have passed over
into one another, and by the influence of wisdom, are converted
into one another. O Wisdom: how thou makest the most fixed gold to
be volatile and fugitive, though by nature it is the most fixed of
all things in the world... Ibn ar Tafiz (Artephius), later became
the renown author of The Secret Book of Artephius, in the first
chapter he mentions substances such as: mercuric oxide, sulfur,
antimony, iron ore, thiosulfate, gold, alluvium, sal ammoniac, wax,
brass silver, black ash, metallic vapors, magnesia (magnesium
hydroxide); in the second chapter he mentions the methods used to
make vinegar saffron, cheese, pure milk, yogurt, cream and butter.
In the third chapter he writes about the Sublimation process,
Bain-marie. AlTafiz ends his book with quotes and the verses from
the Quran: Which when you see, render praises and thanksgiving to
the most great and gracious God (Allah), who gives wisdom and
riches to whomsoever He pleases, and takes them away according to
the wickedness of a person. To Him, I say, the most wise and
almighty God (Allah), be glory for ages and ages. AMEN.
