Alchemy and Hermeticism

Basilius Valentinus friar of the Order of St. Benedict his last will and testament

Which he himself, being alone, hid under a table of marble behinde the high-altar of the cathedral church, in the imperial city of Erford: leaving it there to be found of him, whom Gods providence should make worthy of it. Wherein he sufficiently declareth the wayes he wrought to obtain the philosophers stone, and taught them also to his fellow collegians, all of them attained also to the having of the philosophers stone: whereby not onely the leprous bodies of the impure, and inferior metals are reduced unto the pure and perfect body of gold and silver, but also all manner of diseases whatsoever are cured in the bodies of unhealthful men, and kept thereby in perfect health unto the prolonging of their lives
