Alchemy & Mysticism
Alexander Roob's richly illustrated volume, published by Taschen, gathers hundreds of images from alchemical, Hermetic, Rosicrucian and mystical sources, mostly from the Renaissance and early modern periods. Organized thematically around concepts such as the macrocosm, the opus and the union of opposites, the images are accompanied by short explanatory texts and quotations. It serves as an accessible visual reference for students of esoteric symbolism and iconography.
