Alchemy to a great extent was the medieval predecessor of contemporary chemistry, and is a broad process, comprised of both scientific and philosophical practices. It is unknown where and when alchemy was first invented. However, according to some historical data it was widely practiced between the 9th and 18th centuries.
The inauguration was done by the famous Arabic author A. R. Rafie.
