To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I write with an unterrified quill in an unheard-of style, to the honor of God, to the profit of my neighbors, with contempt of the world and its riches, because Elias, the artist, is already born, and now glorious things are de- clared of the city of God. I dare affirm that I do possess more riches than the whole known world is worth, but I cannot make use of it because of the snares of knaves. I disdain, loathe, and detest the idolizing of silver and A Search for Knowledge 261 gold, by which t...he pomps and vanities of the world are celebrated. Ah ! filthy evil ! Ah ! vain nothingness ! Be- lieve ye that I conceal the art out of envy? No, verily, I protest to you; I grieve from the very bottom of my soul that we (alchemists) are driven like vagabonds from the face of the Lord throughout the earth. But what need of many words ? The thing that we have seen, taught, and made, which we have, possess, and know, that we do declare; being moved with compassion for the studious, and with indignation of gold, silver, and precious stones.
