THE basal texts of the alchemical knowledge of the Middle Ages in Europe are the ``Turba Philosophorum'' and the ``Tabula Chemica'' of Senior Zadith, son of Hamuel; but although both of them are obviously derived from Arabic sources, the latter have not hitherto been traced. Some twenty-five years ago an Arabic manuscript containing three of the works-two in verse and the other in prose-of the tenth century alchemist Muhammad bin Umail came into our possession from Lucknow, and the work in prose, entitled ``Al-Mā'al-Waraqī wa-l-Ard an-Najmīyah'' (``Silvery Water and Starry Earth''), was cursorily examined, as-being largely a compendium of quotations from older alchemical writers-it seemed likely to throw some light on a similar work (the ``Shawāhid'') of the well-known authority on alchemy, Muhammad bin Zakarīya ar-Rāzī, who died in A.D, 925. As, however, no connexion could at the time be established between the two works, and the Indian text was somewhat, defective, the manuscript was put on one side until its collation with other manuscripts of the same work could be made.
