&quot;An Alchemical Treatise on the Great Art&quot; is an essential Alchemy work written by French writer Antoine-Joseph Pernety in the 18th Century.&nbsp;<br />Hermetism is explained as not solely concerned with the transmutation of metals, but also with the spiritual emancipation of Man.<br />This work deals with a system of physics according to the Hermetic Philosophy, and the Theory and Practice of the &quot;Magisterium&quot;. Unlike other authors, Pernety presents the complete system of the &quot;Magnum Opus&quot; in a short and concise manner.
