First Edition Signed
First UK edition, first impression, signed by the author on the title page. Published simultaneously in New York by Braziller, this is a beautifully illustrated study of pictorial depictions of alchemy by one of the leading 20th-century Hermetic scholars. Throughout its history, alchemy has sought to obscure its secrets from the uninitiated. To this end, it developed a complex system of visual signs and allegories that were discernible to alchemists but mystifying to others: "These so called 'Hieroglyphical Figures' and 'Hermetick Emblems' constitute an independent pictorial language which, in silence but not without eloquence, conveys the secrets of alchemy to those aspiring 'Sons of the Art' who alone can discover them" (introduction). The present work offers a commentary on numerous emblems drawn from landmark books on alchemy, such as Michael Maier's Atalanta Fugiens (1617) and Elias Ashmole's Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum (1652). Klossowski de Rola (b. 1942) is a Swiss aristocrat who has published numerous alchemical studies. He is particularly interested in the relationship between Western and Eastern esotericism and was a student of the Buddhist monk Lama Anagarika Govinda (1898-1985). The son of the artist Balthus (1908-2001), de Rola was an eccentric personality who participated in the social scene of the Swinging Sixties, befriending Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, and The Beatles. Quarto. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt, publisher's device in gilt to front cover. With dust jacket. Frontispiece, numerous illustrations within text, many of which full page. Cloth and contents clean and unmarked; minor creasing to jacket extremities, small bookseller's sticker removed from rear panel, unclipped: a fine copy.
