Nicolas Flamel’s will

Nicolas Flamel (circa 1330 or 1340 - 1418) was a 14th-century Parisian bourgeois, public writer, copyist and sworn bookseller. His fortune, amplified by rumor, made him a mythical alchemist who succeeded in his quest for the philosopher's stone, which would transmute metals into gold. Because of this reputation, several alchemical treatises are attributed to him from the late 15th to the 17th century.

Written in France towards the end of 1750 and published in London in 1806. The original document was handwritten by Nicolas Flamel in a coded alphabet of 96 letters. It was written in secret and intended solely for his nephew.
