Basile Valentine

Basile Valentine is an alchemist of the 15th century, perhaps a monk Bénédictin born in Alsace.

One allots works like to him the twelve keys of philosophy , Of the nature of metals , the macrocosm , the triumphal tank of antimony . It employed the Antimoine like drug. Basile Valentine remains nevertheless partly a mythical character, and its origins are dubious. It is possible that one wrote under his name various writings, because it was a current practice for a long time.
