This principle applies to various metals, including gold and silver, suggesting that only through this dissolution can their radical moisture effectively contribute to healing in the human body. The work underscores the importance of preparation in alchemical practices.

Un guide essentiel pour entrer dans l'oraison, mais dont les annotations, selon la volonté de son auteur, "ne veulent en rien entraver la libre opération de l'Esprit divin.Plus l'âme sera élevée dans la contemplation et l'union à Dieu, plus ses actes et sentiments tendront à se fondre et à s'unifier en un simple regard de foi amoureuse et confiante, dirigé vers le Souverain Bien, l'Unique nécessaire".

A tale of chivalry and doomed, transcendent love, The Romance of Tristan and Iseult is one of the most resonant works of Western literature, as well as the basis for our enduring idea of romance. The story of the Cornish knight and the Irish princess who meet by deception, fall in love by magic, and pursue that love in defiance of heavenly and earthly law has inspired artists from Matthew Arnold to Richard Wagner. But nowhere has it been retold with greater eloquence and dignity than in Joseph Bédier’s edition, which weaves several medieval sources into a seamless whole, elegantly translated by Hilaire Belloc and Paul Rosenfeld.
