One of the most characteristic symbols of the mythologies of the old civilizations is Ouroboros, the snake that bites its tail. Its figure and the alchemical texts that speak of it are in two of the main manuscripts that are described in the Catalogue des Manuscrites Alquimiques: the Marcianus graecus 299 and the Parisinus graecus 2327. This article offers the Greek text with its translation, in addition to a brief commentary, of the passages of these manuscripts in which this alchemical symbol appears.
