Description:
THE ALCHEMIST OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS, by FRATER ALBERTUS. Published by the PARACELSUS RESEARCH SOCIETY, Salt Lake City, Utah, 1976. FIRST and LIMITED EDITION, limited to only 500 COPIES, this copy being hand-numbered No. ninety-nine. Hardcover book in dustjacket, 6x9 inches, 167 pages. Condition: NEAR FINE book, tight, bright, clean, clear and unmarked. In a FAIR dustjacket whose backside has clear tape repairs / reinforcement of what was apparently a long closed tear and some smaller tears; the dustjacket also has scrapes, rubs, and edgewear (see photos); despite its flaws the dj is bright and doing its job well. The 1976 First, Limited and Numbered Edition, published during Frater Albertus's lifetime, is quite hard-to-find. About FRATER ALBERTUS (from Wikipedia): ******Frater Albertus Spagyricus (Albert Richard Riedel), b.1911 d.1984; founder of the Paracelsus Research Society in Salt Lake City, which later evolved into the Paracelsus College. Based on the Paracelsian concept of three essentials, Body, Soul and Spirit, Frater Albertus developed a system of teaching alchemical concepts using the spagyric technique of separation and cohobation. The unique graduated courses allowed students to explore aspects of the vegetable, mineral and animal kingdoms in an understandable and accessible way. After his death in 1984, the college ceased operations in the United States but continued to carry on the tradition in Australia. Frater Albertus had a profound effect on the way Alchemy and particularly the Spagyric method was disseminated and understood in the mid to late 20th century. His works were translated into many languages. He was a Rosicrucian.******. Seller Inventory # 003897
