Splendor Solis: Alchemical Treatises of Solomon Trismosin
One of the most famous and beautiful alchemical treatises in existence, traditionally attributed to Solomon Trismosin, the supposed teacher of Paracelsus. This 1920 edition provides the text of the seven alchemical treatises along with descriptions of the famous 22 illuminated plates. The work describes the 'Great Work' (Magnum Opus) through complex allegories of death, rebirth, and the transformation of base matter into the Philosopher's Stone.
