About this Item

tall 8vo, cloth, 555pp, scarce. Publisher s description: Aurora Consurgens is a medieval alchemical treatise, reputed to be the last work of St. Thomas Aquinas, which was rediscovered by Jung in the course of his researches. The analysis by von Franz suggest that the author experienced a breakthrough of the unconsciousness while in an ecstatic state shortly before his death. History records that Thomas Aquinas died in a trance soon after expounding the Song of Songs, and Aurora ends with a paraphrase of the same Biblical verses and a vision of the mystic marriage. (from the publisher s original description).
