Urna Chymica Restaurata

Starts the English Translation of the book "Urna Chymica Restaurata. Das ist: das Geheimnis Kompendium für die richtige Erkenntnis der sehr philosophischen Merkur" by Alexander Jenner FHS.

The work is scheduled to be published in three volumes treating the following themes:

Band I - Fehler, Irrtümer und sektiererischen Dogmen in die Aussichten des Post-Fulcanelli Jahrhunderten

Band II - Die Gründung der wahre und einzige Weg des Großen Werkes.

Band III - Theoretische und praktische Elemente über die wahre Natur der Philosophischen Merkur, mit einigen Experimenten über die flüchtigen Sulphur und anderen philosophischen Quintessenzen. 

The translation interest the first volume, subtitled "Fehler, Irrtümer und sektiererischen Dogmen in die Aussichten des Post-Fulcanelli Jahrhunderten", where the Author expose his results supported by experimental verification related to the different Alchemical Paths and alleged interpretation mistakes that characterizes them.

This work particularly significant, is a veritable gold mine for the alchemist and spagyrist actually engaged in the laboratory practice, who need the right compass to orient himself in the modern alchemical Babel. Reviewing the various Paths that characterized the alchemical background since Fulcanelli, Alexander Jenner presents the ultimate distinction between fake and pseudo-alchemical schools, and the only True Way of the Philosophical Tradition, like no other author has done before. This is also due to the copious unpublished material from a prestigious private collection where several unexpected confirmations lasts.

In the first part of the book, through an introductory analysis of the structure of the language of alchemy, the author begins to outline the connection between the symbol and laboratory practice, then move on to an evaluation of the positive and negative sides of the post -alchemical Tradition in the modern communication.
 

The second part is characterized by the Anatomy of the post-Fulcanelli Era, pointing beyond the French school and analyzing every single alchemical European and extra-European school from a scientific and philosophical point of view, deeply screening any claims by concrete laboratory validations and results, and then discussing  the whole in the broader view of the authentic Great Work structure.

The third part will present the Reasons of an epistemological classification of Alchemy, Spagyrics, Archemy, Metallurgy and Hyperchemistry, without omitting a taxonomy process of the modern "Spagyro-Alchemist". In this part will be exposed the systematic analysis of every single alchemical pathway and the related errors, as well as the severe damage caused by the misinformation of skepticism and anti-traditional views of New Age.

A "must have" in the shelf of modern serious Alchemist and Spagyrist, as well as in his workbench !
