Yale’s Rare Alchemical Library

Yale University — the Ivy League school in New Haven, Connecticut — has a secret alchemical library where many of the books are written in archaic languages. Most are housed in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library — a six-story, glass-encased structure that also contains original manuscripts by authors including the likes of D.H. Lawrence  and James Joyce.

Unless you’re a Yale student, you’ll have trouble getting inside the library to pore over its forbidden books. But some details about its resources are finding their way online.

Here, Riss Flex dives into what we can learn about these alchemical books. She also cites references to the library from the metaphysical works of  David Icke and David Wilcock.

Experts say the tome has all the characteristics of a real language, only one no one has seen before. Is it a hoax or a book of secrets? Learn more from Ted-Ed.
