Maria the Jewess or Maria Prophetissa or Mary Prophetissa or Miriam the Prophetess probably lived in the third century A.D. was one of the founders of alchemy. Several sources equate Maria the Jewess to Miriam, Moses' sister, or to Mary Magdalene. The Bain-marie is attributed to her [1]. The most concrete mention of her name in the context of alchemy is by Zosimos of Panopolis, who wrote in the 4th century the oldest alchemy books known.[2]
