Unknown Author of the Secret Stone - Ignotus Author de Secretis Lapidis.

A small work or booklet by an unknown author who metaphorically describes the secrets of the Philosophical Stone.

An example of our whiteness is an old one about death (Senex supra mortem - An old man beyond death) in him the natures are put together with the fulfillment of the earth, water, fire and air and all of these together in the Saturn.

With him the gates of whiteness will be opened as Hermes says and his first ancestors Take the suspended stone over the sea like an old white wax: Over the fountain like the boy Ypo quistidos.

His name is victorious with him, bring to death the living and make alive the dead and with him stands death and life and this and that of rising and falling with him you will have the whiteness in which the Arabs have floundered, I have told you the truth through whom he made that came into being the author of the stone of paradise, the light of life.

In being, two things are revalued at the same time, namely fire and water and this makes that alive and that kills this.

And these two are put together together in the lion through whom there is death and life. I have told you the truth and am not lying.

Our gums coagulate our milk and our milk dissolves our gums: and after that appear the redness of rising (rubeo orientalis - oriental red) and the redness of the blood. This stone is found pure without stench in the highest places with which the philosophers have praised themselves and exalted above others and have prophesied of things to come.

I have told the truth by the power of heaven because I have not lied with knowledge.

Our old man is our dragon, which has its head with its tail, and the head and tail are the soul and spirit, and the soul and spirit are created from dirt and everything from rising and falling through the one who drives out what is causing harm I say what is true then what I said I saw in the place.

Make your raven white when you want to make him white, then he will first be white with the river Nilo in Egypt and then with Persia in the secret nuts and with these two the red will appear like Mon in the desert through the God who makes everything alive don't lie.

Our water washes away the filth and uncleanness; you will cleanse all his swords and darkness, and then he will laugh at you and say: Who has cleansed me?

He who saw this said it and I said the truth and am not lying.

The earth in the eyes are threej the rising and falling: And over them the white Saturnus has risen and the soul of these three is the Fewr I have said the truth through Mahomet's family now I want to reveal what the first ones have hidden, not with envy.

Our earth will first turn your ore into silver and ultimately it will become obsolete into gold and you will have the whiteness in which the Arabs rotted.

You do it Schwartz with our Ægijpto and not with Persia, and with Persia you make it dry then it is the house of dryness and with Egypt you make it moist then it is the house of moisture and everything is both red and white without mass (sine Mensuratione - without measurement) like the redness in the mulberries or like the blood of the women (hominarum - of men) the stone our whiteness the old first and last a boy therefore his whiteness in the beginning and redness in the last with the dominion.

This is the stone with which all those who have doubted and been unstable have died and died much with pain and sadness, then they turned aside to the path of the devils and left the path of whiteness.

The horse's cover is our white coat and our horse is a strong lion covered under the coat and over both our handles. (Griffus - Griffins) who holds the nature of the precious stones (naturam gemmatam - jeweled nature) this stone is a triangle in its essence or substance, square in form (in qualitate) I have said the truth through the agent who knows everything and makes it raw. They are nit singularia in the hidden but being mixed, the rising and falling are put together at the same time by the souls of all of these, join together and separate and rejoin whenever he wants our wolff is found in the rising and the dog in the falling.

These bite each other and both become mad and kill each other until they become poison and tijriack.

Our camel animal, which is white, is the seventh in number among the great philosophers, the Sun with the moon Jupiter is Mars and our Venus in our Mercurio, and Saturn is the seventh of those in which they are all put together equally, this one is a large one A sword or spatte, a knife and a cutting knife over the dough and an enemy in front of the hand and a vessel with the aid of wine.

Our bishop like the color of the veins or violets and a citrine soul like the citrineness (anima citrina ut citrinitas) and narges or hypoquistidos.

When then the stone in the flowing water through the death of all I do not lie our example with the white of nature.

The Fire and Light in the essence of clarity (essentia claritatis - the essence of clarity) and dz Fire and Light is our little spark and our glowing Brandt (titio candens otherwise Titio is called an extinguished Brandt.)

And with this and that you will find the whiteness I have the truth said through which everything is united.

Our leader is our Thurn from the glue-proof earth and the glue-proof earth is our dirt. And our ointment made of wax and sepo.

And these two are our ship in our sea full of giants.

I have revealed what the ancestors obscured.

I am not envious or resentful like they were through the one who illuminates everything, I do not lie on the earth, the rising and falling is before my eyes and this and that is a flower with a long stem and leaves like lilies (narcisius cum Lilio nostro - Narcissus with our Lily) with us Liligen and these two with our old man and our old man and our father is our corpus: and our corpus is our stone because you have searched a lot but found little.

And this I have declared out of piety and revealed to everyone through the God of the nations or Gentiles (Deus Gentium - God of Gentiles).
