De origine alchymise ; also De lapide philosophorum. In Mundus subterraneus, vol. 11, liber xi, sectio i and 2. Amsterodami, 1665. Folio.
Athanasius Kircher, a celebrated historian, philosopher, mathematician and physical philosopher, was born at Fulda in 1601, and died at Rome in 1680. He filled the chairs of philosophy and oriental languages in the College of Wurtzburg and in ^he Jesuits' College at Avignon. He was afterwards professor of mathematics in the Jesuits' College at Rome. Kircher was a man of " wide and varied, but ill-digested erudition, and a most voluminous writer." Although credulous to an absurd de- gree, in the dissertation " De origine alchymise" he violently attacks the alchemists and their pretended transmutations of the baser metals into gold. It is reprinted in Mangetus' Bibliotheca chemica curiosa, together with replies to his attacks by Clauder and by Blauenstein. Lenglet du Fresnoy says Kircher wrote against alchemy because he was un- successful in his attempts at transmutation.
