Publisher's Synopsis

A Lexicon of Alchemy by Martinus Rulandus is a comprehensive reference book on the subject of alchemy. It is a collection of definitions, descriptions, and explanations of the various terms, concepts, and practices used in alchemy. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history of alchemy, the principles of alchemical philosophy, the symbolism of alchemical imagery, and the techniques and processes used in alchemical experiments. The author draws on a variety of sources, including ancient texts, medieval manuscripts, and contemporary works, to provide a thorough and detailed exploration of the subject. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of alchemy.Containing a full and plain explanation of all obscure words, hermetic subjects, and arcane phrases of Paracelsus.������� �������I wish to come forward with help, that they may not only seek more diligently into the writings of the Hermetists, but that they may understand them better, and that in this manner the divine Art of Alchemy may be more successfully taken in hand.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
