Description

The Book of Abraham the Jew by Abraham Eleazar First published in Leipzig in 1760, this book is a rare and intriguing work of alchemy. The author's true identity remains unknown, with some attributing the work to Julius Gervasius of Schwarzburg. The book's contents are based on the copper tablets of Tubal-Cain, a figure mentioned in the Bible. The book was later added to the R.A.M.S. Library in 1982, where it remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of alchemy. The original publication is believed to have been bound with other works, but the exact nature of these companion volumes is unclear. This book provides a unique insight into the world of alchemy in the 18th century, and its contents are still studied by those interested in the subject today.
