Raymond Lully's Great Elixir: A Dramatic Poem is a literary work published in 1869 that tells the story of a medieval alchemist named Raymond Lully who searches for the secret of the philosopher's stone, a mythical substance that can turn base metals into gold and grant eternal life. The poem is written in a dramatic style and features various characters, including a wise old alchemist, a beautiful princess, and a group of scheming courtiers who seek to use Lully's knowledge for their own gain. Through his quest, Lully encounters numerous obstacles and challenges, including the temptation of wealth and power, but ultimately learns the true value of knowledge and selflessness. The poem is a blend of history, fantasy, and spirituality, and offers insights into the world of alchemy and the human quest for knowledge and enlightenment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
