The Hermetic Museum Arthur Edward Waite Hardbound w/ dustjacket, 322 pages, Samuel Weiser inc, 1999 $50.00 This work represents a distinctive school of alchemy-it belonged to a period which had inherited a bitter experience of the failures, impostures, and misery surrounding the "Magnum Opus" and its mystical quest. The treatises contained in this volume are by the authors of historical legend. Originally published in 1678 in Latin, it supplied a representative collection of alchemical writers and faithfully instructed Disciples of the Sopho-Spagyric Art on how to find and hold the Philosopher's Stone.
