Cato chemicus tractatus quo verae ac genuinae philosophiae hermeticae, & fucatae ac sophisticae pseudo chemiae & utriusque magistrorum characterismi accurate delineantur

Step into the shadowy world of 17th-century alchemy, where Johann Ludwig Hanneman strips away the mask of the 'pseudo-chemist' to reveal the elaborate frauds of his day. From forensic accounts of sleight-of-hand silver tricks to the profound theological symbolism of the Philosopher’s Stone, this treatise is a masterclass in discerning true Hermetic wisdom from dangerous deception.
