chrysopoeia
In alchemy, the term chrysopoeia means transmutation into gold (from the Greek χρυσός ''khrusos'', "gold," and ποιεῖν ''poiēin'', "to make"), although it is also symbolically used to indicate the philosopher's stone as the completion of the Great Work.
The word was used in the title of an alchemical textbook, the ''Chrysopoeia of Cleopatra'', which was probably written in the late Hellenistic period, although it gained wider fame only in the Middle Ages. The book is mainly centred on the idea of "one the all" (''en to pan''), a concept that is related to ouroboros and to hermetic wisdom. Stephen of Alexandria wrote a ''De Chrysopoeia''.〔Stanton J. Linden. ''The alchemy reader: from Hermes Trismegistus to Isaac Newton.'' 2003. p.54〕 ''Chrysopoeia'' is also a 1515 poem by Giovanni Augurello.
