No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
The title 'Majmu nafis fi al-kimiya' refers to a specific manuscript compilation of treatises by Jabir ibn Hayyan (notably containing 'Kitab al-Malaghim' and 15 other treatises). While individual works by Jabir have been translated into English or Latin (often as Pseudo-Geber), there is no record of a complete English translation of this specific Arabic collection or the 'Book of Amalgams' contained within it. Catalog searches only return translations of the Latin 'Summa perfectionis' or unrelated individual treatises.
