I would list Chemistry/TL, ~Metallurgy/TL~, Occultism, and Philosophy or Theology as the key skills for a historical alchemist; a scholarly language like Arabic, Greek, or Latin is mandatory. His GURPS 3e writeup should have most of those already.
Craft Secret perks are plausible, alchemists did not believe in open publication in clear language.
Alchemists who are not professors and mint-masters may have Fast-Talk, Fortune Telling, and Sleight of Hand and buy up various swindle-friendly Techniques.
