I apologize in advance for my "imperfect" English. It is unusual that the topic field is limited to a small number of characters.

We will talk about a rather interesting treatise "De Porta Primordii. Tractatus de Virtute Occulta", which is available in the edition of a certain cult "Oj. Js. Cu. Sc. Occulta", under the same name (you can read it here - https://de-porta-primordii.tiiny.site, 2024, 33 pages, ENG|RUS, .pdf, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).

The treatise, which the authors translated as "On the Gates to the Beginning: A Treatise on Hidden Power" (not quite accurately, well, not critically) is a medieval text (from 1457) authored by a little-known mystic Frater Johannus de Altenburg. In essence, the treatise is a clear reference to Albert the Great. Most likely, Johannus de Altenburg was one of his followers, of whom there were many at that time. But the point is that the text of the Treatise is quite remarkable precisely for its rather unusual concept of "spiritual alchemy", which essentially reflects many points that are relevant to this day.
