Publisher's Synopsis
Irenaeus Philaletheus' The Open Entrance to the Closed Palace of the King is the most famous treatise on alchemy in the Western Hermetic tradition. Philaletheus, a true adept, who gained the state of immortality with his Great Art, reveals to us in this work the arcana of Philosophy by Fire. The great Fulcanelli went so far as to say that it was impossible to say more and more clearly than Philaletheus in his Open Entrance to the Closed Palace of the King. This book was already the subject of a very debatable translation published in 1727. Revered by all alchemical researchers, the Entrance to the Closed Palace of the King deserved to be republished in this collection, which houses other masterpieces of alchemy.
