About this title

Synopsis

*** This is the definitive study book on the most beautiful and iconic treatise on Alchemy ever made: the Splendor Solis (1582, Harley 3469, British Library).

This is a luxury edition, bound in red fabric protected by a dust jacket, as well as paper and printing are top quality.

This very thorough edition includes all its illuminations, 22 full page images with their many nuances, alongside a full explanation that will allow you to discover every little detail of this beauty.

The authors, subject matter experts: J�rg V�llnagel, Thomas Hofmeier, Peter Kidd and Joscelyn Godwin, introduce us to the secrets of its iconography, the background and the full history of this extraordinay illuminated manuscript, as well as show us the meaning of each image and the full codex mysteries.

According to Berlin Staatliche Museum art historian & researcher, Mr. J�rg V�llnagel words, �The Splendor Solis is not at all a laboratory book [...]. It rather spreads the alchemy philosophy, under which the alchemist lives and acts according to the natural rules. Therefore, he respects the divine creation but he contributes to its development and growth by following the alchemy principles. �

Probably the most recent and complete study on the Splendor Solis ever, with brand new contents like the idea that Salomon (or Solomon) Trismosin, claimed possessor of the philosopher's stone and teacher of Paracelsus, was not actually the Splendor Solis' author.
