''Let no impostor, greedy or wicked person, touch this Glorious Work with his unclean hands.
Let the Honest man and him of a Wise Heart come hither, and him who is capable of exploring the most hidden causes of things.''
( Petrus Bonus)
''In the first sense our Stone is the leaven of all other metals, and changes them into its own nature- a small piece of leaven leavening a whole lump. As leaven, though of the same nature with dough, cannot raise it until, from being dough, cannot raise it until, from being dough, it has received a new quality which it did not possess before, so our Stone cannot change metals until it is changed itself, and has added to it a certain virtue which it did not possess before. It cannot change, or color, unless it has first itself been changed and coloured. Ordinary leaven receives its fermenting power through the digestive of gentle and hidden heat. And so our Stone is rendered, capable of fermenting, and altering metals by means of certain digestive heat, which brings out its potential and latent properties, seeing that without heat neither digestion nor operation is possible.''

Una de sus más famosas obras los es=La Preciosa Margarita; es la versión introductoria de Petrus Bonus a la alquimia y consiste en una defensa y citas de autores anteriores de gran renombre en el Magnum opus.
Su visión ideológica descansa en autoridades clásicas y en fuentes del Islam, y estaba seguro, que tanto Ovidio y su Metamorfosis encubrían el secreto alquímico; al igual que muchos poemas y mitos antiguos.
{Rhazes y 20 autores más}
La obra de Petrus Bonus reúne las características prácticas y efectivas de alguien que ha estudiado la alquimia profundamente y desde variados ángulos y prespectivas. Desde el punto de vista filosófico-metafísico, Petrus Bonus tenía la rigurosidad y versatilidad intelectual de combinar tolerantemente las tendencias oscuras y ocultas bajo formas prácticas y efectivas de estudio.
Para Petrus Bonus de Ferrara la alquimia es Donum Dei=Don de Dios y la Piedra Filosofal es ='omnium Remedium''.
La alquimia de Petrus es Revelación y Don Divino y parte sustancial de la Filosofía Natural.
Recordemos que fue el primero en asociar la alquimia y su desarrollo con la Piedra Filosofal y el Cristo.
''Entre los metales hay solo uno que es casi perfecto, y representa el estado más alto de la totalidad de los metales, llamado Oro, y todos los demás tienen la predisposición de ser cambiados a él.''
( Petrus Bonus, La Nueva Perla del Gran Precio(1330): Versión de 1546: Janus Lacinius de Calabria)
Conocido también como Pedro el Físico o el Bueno de Ferrara.
Publica su obra Margarita preciosa en 1330.
En ella Petrus reconoce la alquimia como un sólido método demostrativo que refleja influencias del Escolasticismo y su estructura tripartita e ideológica de pensar donde se verifican las cosas a través de la experiencia.
La alquimia era= The Key of all good things, the Art of Arts, the Science of all Sciences.''
(Debus, The Chemical Philosophy, p.13)
''Bonus was not interested in describing new procedures or recipes. In fact, one of the most intriguing things about his Precious Pearl is the in it Bonus admits candidly thst he has not devoted himself to the manual side of alchemy at all. His purpose was Philosophical.''
( Bruce T. Moran, Distilling Knowledge: Alchemy, Chemistry and the Scientific Revolution, p.34)

HERMETIC PRINCIPLES OF ASCENSION = Scala Philosophorum Víctor. Arturo. Cabello. Reyes. 'And he had a dream: He saw a ladder that was resting on the ground, and its end touched the sky. Angels of God ascended and descended through it'. (Genesis 28:12) Certainly, it is the only Biblical mention of a staircase where the Hebrew term of sul-lam is used precisely, in clear reference to the vision that Jacob manages to contemplate in dreams when stopping on his pilgrimage from Beer-sheba to Haran. Beautiful and significant is the vision of Bethel that manifests itself in an ancient sacred place. Sacred and productive place, for many ancient peoples, that for many centuries before this important vision was known by the Canaanites, with the powerful name of Luz=Light. (Genesis 28:19) Significantly, the place where Abraham had camped some time ago. (Genesis 28: 16-19; 35: 6) THE LADDER of Hermes, in its two basic modalities, the spiral and the straight, is unified with the fundamental ...
