Alchemy

  • Elixir appears in Alchemy.

    Ruland’s Lexicon seats ELIXIR as incomparable medicine for conserving life, ferment of metals, and penetrating medicine of the work. A named elixir in that hermetic-medicine speech, not quintessence as fifth essence alone, and not azoth as mercury-arcana alone.

    from Martin Ruland the Elder · Lexicon Alchemiae, 1612
