Product Description
About the Author
Dr. H. M. E. de Jong was a student of art history. Her interest in iconology led her to the study of alchemical emblems. As she explored the field of alchemy and its sources in antiquity, she delved into the different aspects of alchemy, including the influence of theology, its deeply spiritual sources, and its psychological implications. Her original dissertation on alchemy led to the publication of this translation of her research into the Atalanta Fugiens. She currently resides in The Netherlands.

Atalanta Fugiens, Nov 9 2009
By javafusion - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Michael Maiers Atalanta Fugiens (Hardcover)
In addition to exploring the wealth of symbolism in these emblems, H.M.E. de Jong relates them to an additional 30 alchemical engravings from sources such as Maier's Symbola Aureae Mensae (1647) and The Book of Lambsprinck (1625), and other prominent alchemical works. Including reproductions of several hard-to-find foldouts of alchemical engravings, this book is a collector's edition of a classic alchemical study.
