"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This dictionary provides over 500 entries on alchemy, defined as an esoteric path with two different levels. The physical level is concerned with transforming and purifying metals while the metaphysical level is concerned with transforming and purifying humans. The entries are well written and informative, with copious line drawings and some colored illustrations; information is given on alchemy and its history and influences, including the Kabbala, astrology, the Renaissance view of learning, and the occult. An excellent resource for students of history or other more esoteric studies; recommended for reference collections serving both undergraduate and graduate students and researchers of history, religion, philosophy and the occult.?Gail Wood, SUNY Coll. of Technology Lib., Cortland
