An Alchemical Emblem Book by the Famous French Alchemist who discovered the Philosopher’s Stone

Emblem books were the height of book arts produced during the Renaissance by Hermetic Philosophers. The Hieroglyphical Key describes a rare alchemical book by Abraham the Jew wherein the Great Secret was revealed to Flamel and his wife Pernelle. Using symbolic emblems as a means of explanation, Flamel unveils the details of the Great Work.

Nicholas Flamel’s Hieroglyphical Key is offered with two additional texts; Summary of Philosophy and Testament. The quality of the emblematic engravings in the Ouroboros Press edition are exquisite and are reproduced in crisp offset printing.
