Product Description

Synopsis

Michael Maier was a 17th-century alchemist and physician to the court of Emperor Rudolf II in Prague. He published a number of alchemical works, of which Atalanta Fugiens was undoubtedly the richest and most important. First published in 1617, it is one of the finest alchemical emblem books ever written. Each of the 50 emblems presented consists of a motto, print, epigram, and a three-part musical setting of the epigram, followed by an exposition of its meaning.
