And so the wood is finished and thus it proceeds so that one thing is through this path? toward another. I add that so it shall be for him. The strongest decoction. original: "Fortissima decoctio"; a process of intense, prolonged heating used to refine or "cook" the substance into a higher state. That is, a long-lasting one, and it does not allow the humors the liquid components or "moistures" within the alchemical vessel to settle. Concerning the strength of the fire, he disagrees with others regarding the steep path?. Arislaus and Bonellus. Arislaus and Bonellus are major figures cited in the "Turba Philosophorum," an influential early alchemical text that took the form of a debate between ancient philosophers. And indeed, place it in its own vessel. They describe the substance as already liquefied and entering?.

...to come to the governing parts?. It receives those various things which are mixed, and it is not what is called that, and that itself... it is not possible to be made in the same way. Now we speak of a certain disappearance or separation? on account of the liquefaction liquefactiothe process of turning a solid substance into a liquid state, often seen as a stage of purification.. On the other hand, no. Arislaus on Rarefaction & Bonellus on rarefaction rarefactiothe process of making a substance less dense or more "spiritual" through heat.. For rarefaction is said to be in the material after the cooking?; therefore let us rarefy that which is seen so that the color may be increased. And so rarefaction is necessary for the increase [of color], so that it receives the true color. This is the sign: that in the thing which has humidity residual moisture or "wateriness" that must be managed, the body is not rarefied by the fire because it is made through the natural matter, as is seen in oil when it is made...

Arislaus and Bonellus [say] that a bath balneumoften a "Balneum Mariae" or water bath, used for gentle, even heating. made in an open field is first performed. This rarefaction must be reduced to a bath in color and purity. And let it remain in those things until it is united in color for a long time. Concerning rarefaction Diomedes likely referring to a Greek authority mentioned in the alchemical corpus says: Concerning rarefaction from the power of rarefaction... because the body has humidity... to his son / regarding expulsion It contains the words of Arislaus and Diomedes regarding the rarefying [of the matter]. To his son: hence he has sweat original: "sudor"; the condensation or droplets that form on the sides of the vessel during heating... liquefied through the mass... and by this the surface? is thus made in the whole and rendered... the sweat... the liquefaction is rarefied by the humidity which is returned.
