Newly translated. ''The present volume is believed to be the first translation in English of both Book I and II of the Aurora Consurgens, an alchemical text which has long been attributed (almost certainly erroneously) to St. Thomas Aquinas. Translated from the printed edition which appeared in the 1625 compilation of Dr. Johann Rhenanus entitled Harmoniae Chymico-Philosophicae.
