THE first, and, according to the general concensus of Hermetic authorities, the prince of those alchemical adepts who have appeared during the Christian era, was the famous Geber, Giaber, or Yeber, whose true name was Abou Moussah Djafar at Sofi, and who was a native of Haman, in Mesopotamia, according to the more probable opinion.
