The Hermetic Museum #460468

First published in Latin in 1678, and brilliantly translated into English by Arthur Edward Waite in 1893, "The Hermetic Museum" is an essential anthology of alchemical writings, some so ancient as to be anonymous. 
Writers included have become part of historical legend: Helvetius, Delphinus, Michael Maier. Readers will find here an alchemical initiation, a sign to the seeker that there is a mystery and that you must begin here to unravel it. This edition includes all the original engravings, and can be read not only as an esoteric text of extraordinary richness, but as a compendium of the early history of chemistry.
