[Harris Caplan]

Hello, does anyone have a pdf of The Summa Perfectionis of Pseudo-Geber by William R. Newman?
I would be happy to trade for it, I have quite a few treasures.

This is not e-Bay. Post an introduction and participate in the forum. If you are only into book trading then this is not the right place. Also if you participate and put in an effort of giving, before even asking, then maybe things will come your way for free.

I assume you are looking for an English copy? I can send you the PDF when I get home later tonight.

Here is the Latin manuscript: https://archive.org/details/geberisphilosoph00gebe
Here is a English copy on Scribd: [link broken]

This Alchemical Omnibus 2.0 might contain what you're looking for, plus more: http://www.mediafire.com/file/itoghxc9l59qz05/Alchemical_Omnibus_2.0.pdf

If anyone has PDF books they want to publicly share here on this forum (with no copyright issues if possible ), I can host them on one of my sites, so anyone interested can download them directly from there.

If a book is rare/expensive, we can pool resources like we did before and share the costs.

But if there are old books that people already have in PDF format, I don't see a need to make it a "trade" when everyone here can benefit.

Give and ye shall receive

My apologies for being over zealous. Didnt mean to break protocol. Will be more conscious of it.

This text is tricky as there are several pdf's of pseudo-geber online but this specific version is basically THE version and its going for $2500 on amazon.

One of my big interests is time in alchemy, using time as part of the alchemical process and from what I understand from other texts, this version of the book gets into that as opposed to the pdf's already online, that don't mention time at all.

Like wise, if anyone knows of any other texts that talk about time being an actual part of the alchemical process, not just, do in a short time what nature does in a long time, I would be very interested in hearing about them.

I have a scan of the actual university thesis that Newman wrote on Geber's "Summa", it's like 4 volumes long! If you don't have it, I would be happy to trade it for something I don't have.

Wow that would be incredible and yes I would be happy to trade, let me know if you have a book wish list or author or subject in alchemy that you are interested in.

 

[Harris Caplan]

Im also happy to make some sort of public offering if anyone else wants to chime in with authors they like, subject, etc.

Just let me know what you have. No need to list texts that are already freely available on the Internet, I mean very common and well known things, like the texts posted at Rex Research or McLean's site. Anyone can get those. I am interested in difficult to find stuff, like rare or out-of-print books that are not available on the net (like in Archive.org or Google Books), or manuscripts, or privately commissioned translations, or university theses on alchemy/chymistry.

The William Salmon version is in the RAMS collection. I assume you have this based on your recent blog post.
