The Turba Philosophorum or Assembly of the Philosophers is one of the oldest and most important works of alchemical theory and practice. In it is imagined a great assembly of ancient philosophers to discuss cosmology and alchemical theory and practice. In this episode, I explore the history of this wonderful alchemical textbook along with discussing it's position in the development of the occult science of alchemy.
