Publisher's Synopsis
This book, originally published in 1618, contains the mystical and alchemical writings of German theologian and philosopher Valentin Weigel. The title, which translates to 'Heavenly Manna, Azoth and Ignis, That is the Golden Jewel Dealing with the Precious Cornerstone of Nature', refers to Weigel's belief that the ultimate goal of alchemy is to transform the human soul into a divine essence. This book is a fascinating glimpse into the early development of alchemy and its links with spiritual philosophy.
