Basil Valentine, believed to be a pseudonym, was an alchemist in the 15th or
16th century. However, there is no concrete evidence of his existence before
1600. It was later suggested that Johann Thölde, a German salt manufacturer,
may have been one of the authors behind Valentine’s works. Regardless of his
true identity, Valentine showed extensive knowledge in chemistry, discovering
the production of ammonia, hydrochloric acid, ethyl chloride, and sulfuric
acid, among other accomplishments.

The Twelve Keys is a widely reproduced alchemical book attributed to Basil
Valentinus, a Benedictine monk who for his achievements in the chemical sphere
has been given the title of Father of Modern Chemistry. The Twelve Keys
describes the major features and framework of the alchemical process.
