Picture number 13. “Lapis Philosophorum Medicina Tertii Ordinis” , or Philosophers Stone and Medicine of Third Degree. We are at the end of the third work. “Finito Mense, surgit Rex, omnipotens seu lapis noster, perfecta medecina, tertii ordinis, potens in sui projectione, omnia methalla transmutare. Deo, sit Aeterna laus et Gratiarum aetio incessabilis Amen”. Rabbi Simeon ben Cantara thanks God for him to be before the Philosophers Stone. I don’t know about Philosophers Stone, but here we are at least before the Projection Powder, or the powder which can transmutate all metals. The month, or established time, has been passed, our King ( or metallic vulgar gold) is resurrected ( of course the chemical composition of this red powder will be very uncertain). If not our Soul, this saffron powder has at least saved a gold Soul. We have both a medicine and a means to get rich. For a naive ancient man all he wishes to dare thanking God for. But there will be a part 3.
