- Comment: This review was fast. Twenty minutes. It was so fast, it almost whooshed away a little spark of light in the dark lands of wikignorance, no questions asked. @David Eppstein: please go and read the article ... slowly ... then read it again, even slowlier. Translated into vernacular languages ... sixteenth century ... completed 11 February 1144 ... vernacular languages ... sixteenth century ... Latin word ... alchemia ... and as your Latin world does not yet know what alchemy is ... material substance ... Eventually, it will come to you. Then, if you really have some time, try the following wiki pro-tip (note 4): "most recent status quaestionis also in Dapsens 2016"; now just see if there's anything in there "about what is in the book, or who it might have influenced".
