This article used to state that The Book of the Composition of Alchemy translated in 1144 by Robert of Chester is a work by Jabir ibn Hayyan. However, this must be a mistake, since neither the expert sources on Jabir, nor the expert sources on The Book of the Composition of Alchemy mention any such thing. Instead, it is well-known that it belonged to the books attributed to Khālid ibn Yazīd (c. 668 – c. 704). Apaugasma (talk) 20:09, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
