Page "Albertus Magnus" Paragraph 20

According to legend, Albertus Magnus is said to have discovered the philosopher's stone and passed it to his pupil Thomas Aquinas, shortly before his death.

Magnus does not confirm he discovered the stone in his writings, but he did record that he witnessed the creation of gold by " transmutation.

" Given that Thomas Aquinas died six years before Albertus Magnus ' death, this legend as stated is unlikely.
