The Emerald Tablet, also known as ''Tabula Smaragdina'', is a legendary text attributed to the foundation of alchemical lore and the source of the legend of the [[Philosopher's Stone]], or [[Lapis Philosophorum]]. It was inscribed in an ancient Arabic dialect by a pioneering alchemist who purportedly discovered the Philosopher's Stone. This alchemist's profound understanding of transmutation and the principles of alchemy were encapsulated in the cryptic verses of the Emerald Tablet. Over the centuries, the Tablet has been shrouded in mystery, with various cultures and alchemical traditions interpreting its contents through the prism of their own mystical and philosophical understandings. | The Emerald Tablet, also known as ''Tabula Smaragdina'', is a legendary text attributed to the foundation of alchemical lore and the source of the legend of the [[Philosopher's Stone]], or [[Lapis Philosophorum]].
