Product Information
One of the four esoteric paths to enlightenment, alchemy is about striving for perfection on a physical and metaphysical level, and transforming materials--both metals and people. This generously illustrated dictionary features entries on laboratory operations and well-known alchemists, plus information on the brotherhoods, sacred places, collectors, patrons, texts, and publishers that made alchemy possible. You'll get a taste of cabalistic and glyphic languages, while much emphasis is laid on pictures and emblems--the real keys to understanding alchemy. 192 pages (12 in color), 160 b/w illus., 7 1/2 x 9 3/4.Product Identifiers
