Summary: mostly pictures....
Review: ....from ancient alchemical treatises, though high-quality pictures. Could have wished for a longer Intro because the author crafted it with care and comprehension.

Review: The introduction to this book was excellent! It is a shame he had to end it so quickly by introducing colorful alchemical pictures...

Summary: A good introduction to alchemy.
Review: This book is a collection of alchemical art, with 193 illustrations and 33 of them are in colour. Stanislas Klossowski de Rola provides a good and clear introduction on alchemy with a short commentary on each illustration. Also included is the alchemical poem, The Vision of Sir George Ripley, with an exposition on its contents by AEyrenaeus Philalethes. A must have.
