This document appears to be the introduction or preface to a book on alchemy and hermetic philosophy written by a woman whose husband, a well-known author, had recently passed away. She expresses concerns that his final works are being misrepresented and warns readers not to expect a plain recipe for the Aurum Potabile (drinkable gold) as her husband did not intend to fully reveal that secret before his death. The introduction serves to authenticate her late husband's writings and protect his legacy from fraudulent publications.
