About This Book
Step into the 'Workshop of Vulcan' with Martin Ruland Jr. as he defends the divine art of alchemy against its fiercest critics. This provocative 16th-century treatise explores whether base metals can achieve perfection, if poisons can become life-saving cures, and why the secrets of nature reveal God more clearly than any scripture.
