翠玉录

17世纪虚构的翠玉录石板
翠玉录，英文名叫Emerald Tablet（也叫Smaragdine Table或Tabula Smaragdina，直接翻译的意思就是祖母绿色或翠绿色的石板）相传是公元前332年由埃及传入欧洲的炼金术文献，炼金术师相信上面记载着唯一之物（也有翻译成本源之物、原初之物的，换句话说就是贤者之石）的炼成方法，全文12句话（也有一说13句，看断句情况不同），wiki上本有三个版本：Newton’s translation、Theatrum Chemicum（一本炼金术纲要）、Latin Text（拉丁文版）
一本早期的拉丁文炼金术集《De Alchemia
》中翠玉录的记载
顺便附上英文版与中文翻译
This is true and remote from all cover of falsehood
这是真理，远离虚假之真理
Whatever is below is similar to that which is above. Through this the marvels of the work of one thing are procured and perfected.
要造出"唯一之物"的奇迹，须明白，那上界之物与下界相同，而下界之物也与上界无异
Also, as all things are made from one, by the [consideration] of one, so all things were made from this one, by conjunction.
唯一缔造万物，万物皆生于同一
The father of it is the sun, the mother the moon. The wind bore it in the womb. Its nurse is the earth, the mother of all perfection.
太阳是它的父亲，月亮是（它的）母亲，它在风的子宫里孕育，大地养育了它，所有完美之母
Its power is perfected. If it is turned into earth.
当它与大地融为一体，它拥有全能的力量
