Hieroglyphicall figures and hermetick emblems - a stunning array of the best works of the premier alchemical engravers of the period. The complex pictorial language of alchemical symbolism is presented here in a clear and superbly put together volume, showing the works from ( to name only a selection ) Merian, De Hooge, Mylius, Lambsprink, Maier, Bohme, Croll, and Khunrath, and an incredible array of images. These beautiful, mysterious and complex works cover a wide variety of symbolic reference points such as suns, moons, fire, the philosophers stone, animals and mythical beasts such as dragons, figures, sacred geometry, the Cabala, the egg, winged figures, kings, queens and hundreds of surreal scenes with hidden messages and mysterious characters. Accurate reviews include A superb volume - The New Humanity, and An excellent and comprehensive anthology - Ambix.
