Pages: 431-441
The article focuses on the question of the original language of composition of the De perfecto magisterio, a Latin treatise on alchemy attributed to Rāzī and Aristotle. After studying the arguments in favour of an Arabic origin, the author examines the former arguments in favour of a Latin original composition. Afterwards, he brings a new strong and decisive argument: quotations from the Liber dabessi and its Tabula Smaragdina, a Latin text prior to the De perfecto magisterio.
