About this audiobook
"An Alchemical Treatise on the Great Art" is an essential Alchemy work written by French writer Antoine-Joseph Pernety in the 18th Century.
Hermetism is explained as not solely concerned with the transmutation of metals, but also with the spiritual emancipation of Man.
This work deals with a system of physics according to the Hermetic Philosophy, and the Theory and Practice of the "Magisterium". Unlike other authors, Pernety presents the complete system of the "Magnum Opus" in a short and concise manner.
