The Key to the Great Work

The Key to the Great Work, or letters from Sancelrien Tourangeau to Madame L.D.L.B***. T.D.F. A.T.

In the first letter will be taught where to find the matter of the wise;

in the second, the virtues and wonders of the white and red Elixir, in the three Kingdoms of Nature;

In the third, addressed to my brother, a priest, sub-dean in dignity of a noble and distinguished Church, the reality of the Great Work will be proven by all that is most positive in sacred and profane history, that it has been and always will be the foundation, as well as the first motivation for all the religions of the world.

Paris, 1777.
