Alchemical Writings

 

Archive Notes

Adam McLean has collected an outstanding archive of alchemical materials at the Virtual Library of Alchemical Texts. The site also now has a new location: The Alchemy Website.

Instead of attempting to reproduce any of this material here, we invite your to visit the Adam Mclean's comprehensive collection of materials. The only problem with this collection is its size -- it is so large, that finding things can by difficult! Below is a very brief sampler of some of the texts to be found on the site:
