Zosimus of Panopolis
Ζώσιμος ὁ Πανοπολίτης

Zosimus of Panopolis on the Divine Art of Alchemy

68 works

Zosimus of Panopolis, late third to early fourth century CE, is the name this site attaches to a Greek writer from Panopolis in Egypt.

What this site holds is a large Greek alchemical shelf under his name: memoirs and apparatus books such as On Instruments and Furnaces, Genuine Notes, water and mercury pieces such as On the Evaporation of the Divine Water that Coagulates Mercury, On the Substances and the Four Bodies According to Democritus, The First Book of the Last Abstinence of Zosimus the Theban, and many short working excerpts on dyeing, furnaces, and ὕδωρ θεῖον. Later Syriac, Arabic, and Latin compilations are later language.

The Greek speaks of τέχνη, στοιχεῖα, and ὕδωρ θεῖον, often addressed to Theosebeia. These are Greek books in later copies, not a recovered laboratory archive, and not a Latin autograph.
