Summary: "The Book of Quinte Essence or the Fifth Being" by Furnivall and Hermes is a historical treatise written in the late 19th century. This intriguing work explores the esoteric concept of Quinte Essence, the purported fifth essence or 'spirit' that underlies all matter, with a focus on its mystical properties and applications in alchemy and healing. It reveals much about the beliefs and practices of earlier centuries regarding alchemy, medicine, and the intersection of science and spirituality. At the start of this treatise, the author discusses the origins and significance of Quinte Essence, described as a heavenly elixir capable of restoring youth and vitality. The text promises insights into how the ancients, particularly Hermes, understood this essence, and it outlines various methods for its creation and practical uses, such as healing ailments and rejuvenating the body. The language and style mirror the medieval context from which these ideas emerged, providing a glimpse into the alchemical traditions that sought to bridge science with the divine.
