"His Secret Book" is attributed to Artephius, circa 1126, who was an Alchemist from Al-Andalus (the name given to Islamic Spain). Artephius was one of the most prominent Alchemists in the Middle Ages and the author of numerous works on Alchemy. "His Secret Book" describes the entire process of preparing the Philosopher's Stone. Three separate operations are described: 1.Preparation of the Secret Fire, which is the solvent used in the Work; 2.Preparation of the mercury from antimony and iron; and 3.Preparation of the Stone itself.
