The influential 'Golden Chain of Homer', written or edited by Anton Josef Kirchweger, was first issued at Frankfurt and Leipzig in four German editions in 1723, 1728, 1738 and 1757. A Latin version was issued at Frankfurt in 1762, and further German editions followed. This is an excellent book of Alchemy. It goes into great detail on nature and its beginnings. Discusses the elements and minerals common in all living things. A very good book for those learning Alchemy.
