Original titleThe Hermetic museum, restored and enlarged; most faithfully instructing all disciples of the sopho-spagyric art how that greatest and truest medicine
First published in Latin in 1678, The Hermetic Museum is an anthology of alchemical writings, some so ancient as to be anonymous. Writers included have become part of historical legend: Helvetius, Delphinus, Michael Maier. Readers will find here an alchemical initiation, a sign to the seeker that there is a mystery and that you must begin here to unravel it. This hardback edition includes all the original engravings, and can be read not only as an esoteric text of extraordinary richness, but as a compendium of the early history of chemistry.
