Scan/photographic reproduction of a book published in 1664.
The book begins with an account of John Heydon's life; it then becomes quite a technical account of the alchemical elixir, with astrological references (especially relating to the Angels of the Planets). It seems to equate Rosicrucianism with Alchemy.
On the CD The Emerald Tablets of Thoth and Other Books on Alchemy, Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism and Magic (135.45 VAR 8389).
