The Centre of Nature Concentrated
A handwritten translation into English (by F.E. in the 19th century) from a German translation by D.J.O.H. (Helbigius in 1682). The original was written in Arabic. Ali Puli, also known as Alipili, is the attributed author of a number of 17th-century alchemical and hermetic texts. However, his historical existence is doubtful. He is described as a Mauretanian Christian of Asiatic extraction; also variously as an Arab (because he was said to have written in Arabic), and a Moor. Most probably, Ali Puli is the pseudonym of Johann Otto von Helwig (1654-1698), a German physician, alchemist and author).
