Heinrich Khunrath

"Likely published in Hamburg in 1595, this first edition, of which only a few copies exist, is notable for its elaborate, hand-colored engraved plates heightened with gold and silver, as well as complex letterpress pages.

... an alchemical classic, the best known of Heinrich Khunrath's works. The work is infused with a strange combination of Christianity and magic. The tension between spirituality and experiment, and the rich symbolism of Khunrath's writings and their engravings brought condemnation of the book by the Sorbonne in 1625"
