I don't accept nor assume anything about Beguin. This thread is about Vinegar (Distilled and Alkalisated). One recipe was provided for discussion, Jean Beguin's Tyrocinium Chymicum, Chapt. V. I replied with specific comments about that with the focus not on the vulgar process that is on the surface of that recipe but on the Philosophical process underling that it represents as an analogy.
Since you know nothing about how to make vinegar Philosophically you derailed this thread into an argument about the intent and knowledge of the author Beguin. This is similar to your condemnation of YWorth in another thread.
Your reply here is more non sequiturs and vapid as well, full of opinions backed up with generalities like: "Pick up any serious history book dealing with alchemy, for example. Why do you think all historians of science coincide in associating alchemy with the Stone & transmutation???." History books, seriously? Historians are not alchemists nor chymists but academians and scribes. They know less than you about the Elements and Principles of Alchemy.
You are the one desperate to find the Secret Solvent not me. I've laid open the preparation of the simple vegetable menstruum and it does not fit into your preconceived vague idea of what it might be. So you go off on your single minded crusade of fanatical pontifications and theoretical judgments same as in every thread you hijack.
You know what you have to do to prove me wrong and that will take place only in the laboratory of your dreams. In your practical laboratory you will only be able to confirm what I have said as have others. Then the book of Weidenfeld will be wide open to you for a lifetime of exploration. Right now you are just wasting your time ignoring the open entrance to the palace of the king.
In that you are not alone. No one is teaching the Philosophical methods of Alchemy because the current teachers were not taught by their teachers who in their turn did not know, all of them being vulgar Spagyrists. So it seems that I am unique in my idiocy, but that is not true. Others possess the knowhow and have sworn to keep it to themselves. The ignorance continues...
Take it or leave it; it's your choice same as it is for everyone here.
