The Six Keys of Eudoxus is a short but important manuscript in the field of Alchemy. Traditionally attributed to an ancient philosopher, Eudoxus of Cnidus (410 or 408 BC - 355 or 347 BC), the Greek astronomer, initiate, mathematician, physician, scholar and student of Plato, it can actually be traced back to the Renaissance era. It has been studied and commented on by great scholars such as Arthur Edward White, Walter Leslie Wilmshurst and Israel Regardie, who have included and interpreted it in some of their treatises.
The manuscript describes a simplistic set of methods by which Alkahest and the Philosopher's Stone can be made. Combining practice with theory, it is meant to make the process of Alchemy easier for the student, so many similar materials being so highly symbolic and richly veiled with metaphor.
We propose it again today to our curious readers, certain that reading it can help open the way to Knowledge for them.
