THE HERMETIC MUSEUM - VOLUMES I & II

Deze app bevat geïllustreerde inhoud van de Hermetic Museum Volumes I & II.

The Hermetic Museum or Musaeum Hermeticum is a compendium of alchemical texts first published in German, in Frankfurt, 1625 by Lucas Jennis. The Hermetic Museum version translated by Arthur Edward Waite, one of the largest collections of Alchemical tracts, first published it in Latin in 1678. Waite translated it into English and issued it in two volumes in 1893.

Its purpose was apparently to supply in a compact form a representative collection of relatively brief and less ancient alchemical writings; it could be regarded as a supplement to those large storehouses of Hermetic learning such as the Theatrum Chemicum, or Jean-Jacques Manget's Bibliotheca Chemica Curiosa. It seemed to represent a distinctive school in Alchemy, less committed to the past and less obscure than the works of older and more traditional alchemical masters.
