The Great Alchemical Work of Eirenaeus Philalethes, Nicholas ... by Rubellus Petrinus

He continued his studies by reading the works of Fulcanelli. After reading Le Matin des Magiciens by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier, he became determined to experience and understand alchemy. Rubellus Petrinus was born in Bragança, Portugal, on 25 March 1931. ”Drawing upon his more than thirty years of discipline and experience, Rubellus generously shares his knowledge which has had “all that is superficial removed from it,” and daringly exposes the facts of the secret processes of the Art. Rubellus removes a good portion of the veil from the writings of Flamel, Valentine and Philalethes concerning the Great Work, and tby opens the door to a wider understanding of other related literature. According to Frater Parush (A.H.S.), in his preface, “… the interested student will find in one of the best publications now available of the accurate and proper understanding of some important pieces of classic alchemical cypher. Taking as his starting point the classic works of three well-known Adepts – Eirenaeus Philalethes, Nicholas Flamel and Basil Valentine – Rubellus offers aspirants a clear explanation of these highly cryptic, often deliberately misleading, texts. In the first English language edition of this ‘little work,’ Portuguese alchemist Rubellus Petrinus presents a sincere and invaluable guide to the operative laboratory tradition that gave birth to the Art of Hermes and its vast literature.
