THIS BOOK IS NAMED SPLENDOR SOLIS AND IS DIVIDED INTO SEVEN PARTS,
IN WHICH IS DESCRIBED THE HIDDEN MYSTERY OF THE OLD PHILOSOPHERS,
AS WELL AS ALL THAT NATURE REQUIRES TO CLEARLY ACCOMPLISH THE WHOLE
WORK, INCLUDING ALL THE ADDED THINGS; AFTER WHICH NO ONE SHALL BE
ADVISED TO GRAPPLE WITH THE MYSTERY OF THE NOBLE ART WITH HIS OWN
SENSES. ALPHIDIUS, one of the old Philosophers, said: "Every one
who does not care for the trouble of obtaining the Philosopher's
Stone, will do better in making no enquiries at all than only
useless ones." The same also says RHASES, in his book "LIGHT OF
LIGHTS" "Let it be said then to all, I hereby admonish them most
earnestly, that none be so foolhardy to presume to understand the
unknown intermixture of the elements, for as ROSINUS say: "All who
engage in this Art, and are wanting the knowledge and perception of
things, which the Philosophers have described in their books, are
erring immensely; for the Philosophers have founded this art in a
natural beginning, but of a very hidden operation. Though it is
evident that all corporeal things originate in and are maintained
and exist of the Earth, according to Time and Influence of the
Stars and Planets, as: Sun, Moon and the others, together with the
four qualities of the elements, which are without intermission,
moving and, working therein, thereby creating every growing and
procreating thing in its individual form, sex and substance, as
first created at the Beginning by God, the Creator, consequently
all metals, originate in the earth of a special and peculiar matter
produced by the four properties of the four elements, which
generate in their mixture the metallic force, under the influence
of their respective planets.
