interesting how almost nothing is know about her
That we know anything about her is due to her disciple, Zosimus of Panopolis (who lived in the late 3rd or early 4th century). According to Z., Mary wrote an alchemcial treatise called Peri kaminon kai organon (Concerning furnaces and apparatus). Mary either invented or was the first recorded to have described the bain-marie. I got this information from The Jewish Alchemists: A History and Source Book by Rapahel Patai, 1994. Also, the German for bain-marie is Marienbad. Always loved the Resnais flick Last Year in Marienbad. Thanks for the links.
