Alchemy

On Generation and Corruption

by Aristotle

Aristotle's treatise on coming-to-be and passing-away, in which he links fire, air, water and earth to the qualities hot, cold, wet and dry and explains how the elements change into one another. This doctrine of elemental transformation underlies the medieval theory of alchemical transmutation.
