Sezgin, (Natural Sciences in Islam. 67–68), Frankfurt. 2002:
"To form an idea of the historical place of Jabir's alchemy and to tackle the problem of its sources, it is
advisable to compare it with what remains to us of the alchemical literature in the Greek language.
One knows in which miserable state this literature reached us. Collected by Byzantine scientistsfrom
the tenth century, the corpus of the Greek alchemists is a cluster of incoherent fragments, going back
to all the times since the third century until the end of the Middle Ages."
"The efforts of Berthelot and Ruelle to put a little order in this mass of literature led only to poor
results, and the later researchers, among them in particular Mrs. Hammer-Jensen, Tannery,
Lagercrantz, von Lippmann, Reitzenstein, Ruska, Bidez, Festugiere and others, could make clear only
few points of detail…
 The study of the Greek alchemists is not very encouraging. An even surface examination of the Greek
texts shows that a very small part only was organized according to true experiments of laboratory:
even the supposedly technical writings, in the state where we find them today, are unintelligible
nonsense which refuses any interpretation.
It is different with Jabir's alchemy. The relatively clear description of the processes and the alchemical
apparatuses, the methodical classification of the substances, mark an experimental spirit which is
extremely far away from the weird and odd esotericism of the Greek texts. The theory on which Jabir
supports his operations is one of clearness and of an impressive unity. More than with the other Arab
authors, one notes with him a balance between theoretical teaching and practical teaching, between
the `ilm and the `amal. In vain one would seek in the Greek texts a work as systematic as that which is
presented for example in the Book of Seventy."
