Le De anima alchimique du pseudo-Avicenne by Sébastien Moureau
Adapted and expanded from Moureau’s doctoral thesis defended in 2010 at the Université Catholique de Louvain, this monograph extends over two substantial volumes for a total of more than 1,400 pages thoroughly annotated in more than 3,500 footnotes. Numbers apart, Moureau’s praiseworthy effort aims to contribute to the study of the alchemical works of pseudoAvicenna by presenting the first critical edition of an extensive, very complex, and deeply influential treatise, the De anima, and its first annotated French translation. Moureau’s book rigorously achieves this and offers much more.
