Where was the element Arsenic discovered?

I am doing a science project on the element Arsenic. I know that Albert Magnus discovered it in 1250AD, but I don’t know where he discovered it. Can someone tell me, or better yet give me a website that says where it was discovered.

I don’t want to seem mean, but please don’t answer if you don’t know it, and please don’t say “search google” because I already did. Im saying this because it is a project worth 40% of my grade.

Thank You For Your Help!

All we can do is guess that he was in Paris when he discovered it. From Wikipedia, it says “In 1245 he went to Paris, received his doctorate and taught for some time as a master of theology with great success.”…since arsenic was discovered just five years after his entrance to Paris, I’d assume it was discovered there.
