Emerald Tablet
The "Emerald Tablet" was first translated into Latin in the twelfth century by Hugo of Santalla as part of his translation of the "Sirr al-khalīqa". It was again translated into Latin along with the thirteenth century translation of the longer version of the pseudo-Aristotelian "Sirr al-asrār" (Latin: "Secretum secretorum"). However, the Latin translation which formed the basis for all later versions (the so-called 'vulgate') was originally part of an anonymous compilation of commentaries on the "Emerald Tablet" variously called "Liber Hermetis de alchimia", "Liber dabessi", or "Liber rebis" (twelfth or thirteenth century).
