He divided these things into three kingdoms: Mineral, Vegetable, and Animal. In the knowledge and understanding of these three he excelled, and transmitted to posterity (though in an enigmatic style) the description of the Philosophers' Quintessence, or Universal Elixir, which he made as the receptacle of all celestial and terrestrial virtues. He discussed and delivered this Great Secret in the following work, part of which is also said to have been found engraved upon an Emerald Tablet in the Valley of Hebron. Johannes Functius, in his chronology, says he lived in the time of Moses, twenty-one years before the Law was given in the wilderness.
