Book Description:This is a short, edited
collection of some
curious Alchemical treatises,
published by A.E. Waite in 1893.
According to the preface, Waite found these in a
manuscript belonging to a
collector of occult books.
As alchemical collections go, the Collectanea Chemica is a vital read for those seriously interested in alchemy, however it is not a clear introduction to the art.
