About this piece
An alchemy book that traces the story from medieval times to the Romantic era: Alchemy & Mysticism, a 576-page hardback on alchemy and hermetic thought. It suits readers with no prior knowledge of alchemy.
Across 576 pages and 600 illustrations, the book follows the medieval cosmogram, Christian mysticism and alchemy into the art of the Romantic era. The hieroglyphs of cabalists, Rosicrucians and freemasons link to early scientific drawings in medicine, chemistry, optics and colour theory. Each chapter opens with an introduction and quotes from alchemists, by specialist Alexander Roob.
The roots of surrealism can be found in its pages, so it suits art lovers and history fans. This Taschen hardback, 200 x 151 x 39 mm, makes a strong birthday or Christmas gift. Open Alchemy & Mysticism and step into the Hermetic Museum.
