Google Translate, from bookseller website: Arnaud de Villeneuve († 1311) was undoubtedly one of the greatest physicians of the Middle Ages. But his commitment to the Spiritual Franciscans and the heterodox writings began rapidly to the rank of the most controversial figures of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. For some, it was an evangelical spirit to the cause of the poor, for others, a heresiarch suspected of engaging in necromancy. For all, however, he remained a scholar almost omniscient. As such, many alchemical works were attributed to him (some one influenced Ficino, Ambroise Paré one or Chaucer), and lent him a legend even have taught the secret of Llull great work, while medieval jurists asserted that he had made a transmutation to the cardinals of the Roman Curia. This is a thorough study of the authenticity and significance of the alchemical corpus that focuses Antoine Calvet in this book. What are the texts which circulated under the name Arnaud? This was really the author of some of them, especially those that combine alchemy, prophecy and quest for universal medicine? What is unique about these alchemical treatises than those attributed to Roger Bacon and Albert the Great? To what extent the place to give some biblical exegesis she opened the door to allegorical interpretations and metaphysical speculations that prevailed during the Renaissance? These are the main questions which strives to meet the present work, where we find also edited and translated the most important alchemical works attributed to Arnaud de Villeneuve.
