Alchemy
The Medieval Alchemists and Their Royal Art
Johannes Fabricius presents a study of alchemical symbolism illustrated with a large collection of images from medieval and early modern manuscripts and printed books. Following a broadly Jungian approach, he interprets the stages of the alchemical work as symbolic representations of psychological development. The book is valued chiefly as a pictorial resource and as an example of the psychological reading of alchemy.
