the most
fabulous treasure
Welcome to My Exploration of Alchemy and Secret Sciences
From a young age, I have been captivated by the mystical allure of alchemy and hidden sciences. My journey into this intriguing world began in the sixties while I was studying chemistry at the Technicum in Geneva. It was during this pivotal time that my professor challenged me to deliver a comprehensive presentation on the history of chemistry.
In pursuit of this task, I delved into a wealth of fascinating literature on the subject.
Among my most invaluable resources was the renowned chemist Marcelin Berthelot, whose remarkable research traced the roots of chemistry back to ancient texts predating the 8th century. His extensive work, which includes the Leiden papyri, the manuscripts of Saint-Marc, and rare documents from an Italian museum, is encapsulated in his monumental “History of Chemistry.”
This scholarly masterpiece not only deepened my understanding but ignited an enduring passion for the secrets of the past.
About the Book
"The most fabulous treasure"
THe marvelous grimoire of abraham the jew
We are in the spring of 1949, by a magnificent sunny day, on the quays of Seine in Paris.
Isaac Jacobi, wise bibliophile, strolling nonchalantly among the displays of a hundred booksellers, when he is suddenly attracted by an old binding in parchment decorated with strange figures almost discolored.
By carefully leafing through the old work, he realizes that he holds in hand the famous Grimoire of Abraham the Jew, whose Nicolas Flamel describes abundantly the illustrations in his “Book of Hieroglyphic Figures” published in 1612 by the widow of the printer Jean Guillemot is almost two centuries after the death of Flamel, and he will acquire it for a handful of francs!
A few years later, in 1954, the young Dror, son of Isaac, deciphered the first verse in the Hebrew language of the old manuscript which will motivate three atypical heroes to embark on a dangerous adventure, in pursuit of the most fabulous treasure of all time by deciphering the enigmatic Grimoire of Abraham the Jew,
But voila, the manuscript will arouse the lust of gangsters ready to do anything, including killing to get it.
Do the crooks know that it is not the grimoire but its contents that have value?
About the author
Richard Touitou was born and raised in a quaint village nestled in the breathtaking Aurès Mountains, where the undulating sands of the Sahara meet the rich tapestry of Algerian culture. His formative years were shaped not only by the warmth of his family but also by the vibrant traditions of the Touareg friend tribe, particularly the esteemed El Sarahoui family. During his adolescence, up until the pivotal moment of Algeria’s indebtedness in November 1954, Richard reveled in a remarkable education steeped in the lessons of nature and the wisdom of ancient customs, often found near the tranquil banks of the El Arab wadi.
Pursuing academic excellence, Richard graduated with a degree in chemical engineering from the prestigious Technicum in Geneva. This pivotal achievement launched him into a successful career in the petrochemical and fertilizer industries, where his analytical mind and innovative spirit flourished.
"INSPIRATION IS POURING OUT WHAT YOU'VE"
It is important to know that modern science and subsequent technological development are indebted to the discoveries made by the ancient alchemists,
Thus, chemistry, metallurgy, goldsmithing, glassmaking, dyeing, printing and pharmacopoeia among others, developed thanks to the discoveries of these ancient researchers during their mad quests for the absolute and the elixir of youth
Let us pay tribute to them.
