Description

"The Turba Philosophorum", also known as "Assembly of the Philosophers", is one of the oldest European alchemical texts, translated from the original Arabic around c. 900 A.D. First published in 1896, this volume contains an English translation of the ancient text by A.

E. Waite. Arthur Edward Waite (1857 - 1942), more commonly referred to as A.

E. Waite, was an American-born British mystic and poet.

He wrote profusely on the subject of the occult and esoteric matters, and is famous for being the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck.

His work arguably constitutes the first attempt to systematically studying the history of western occultism, which he viewed more of a spiritual tradition than proto-science or pseudo-religion, as was the more common conception.

Other works by this author include: "The Alchemical Writings of Edward Kelly" (1893), "Turba Philsophorum" (1894), and "Devil-Worship in France" (1896).

Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.

We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
