  <abstract>"A New Light of Alchymie" by Michal Sedziwój and Paracelsus is a scientific publication written in the mid-17th century. The text explores the principles of alchemy, focusing on the mystical and practical aspects of natural philosophy and the underlying processes of nature. The work aims to illuminate the relationship between alchemical practices and the natural world, providing insights into the generation and transformation of matter.  The opening of this work establishes the groundwork for a comprehensive understanding of alchemy. It begins with a transcriber’s note warning the reader about the outdated medical practices discussed within, followed by an epistle to the reader that emphasizes the importance of grounding knowledge in both philosophy and divine revelation. The author expresses a desire to guide the searchers of wisdom through practical experiences and to reveal truths about nature that might otherwise be obscured. This initial portion invites the reader into a realm where the blending of reason, faith, and the principles of alchemy are explored, setting the stage for deeper discussions on the generation of metals, plants, and the true essence of things as understood through the lens of alchemical philosophy.
