This short and cryptic text was highly regarded by European alchemists as the foundation of their art. The reason that the Emerald Tablet was so valuable is because it open the human possibility to achieve the primary goal of alchemy, the transmutation, fitting (or at least not conflicting) into the canon of the Catholic Church.
The Emerald Tablet is a fundamental text for the Islamic and occidental alchemy, it is understood as the path to get the alchemical gold.
In its several western recensions, the Tablet became a mainstay of medieval and renaissance alchemy. Commentaries and/or translations were published among others, by: Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon and Johannes Trithemius.
