Photographic reproduction of a 17th century book about the medicinal uses of 'mumie' or 'mummy' - a substance that has inspired much speculation, but is described in great detail here. The information is apparently derived from the works of the Swiss physician Paracelsus.
With an introduction by the astrologer William Lilly.
On the CD The Emerald Tablets of Thoth and Other Books on Alchemy, Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism and Magic (135.45 VAR 8389).
