The Hermetic Museum, Restored and Enlarged (Musaeum Hermeticum)
The largest and most important compendium of alchemical works ever published in English. Waite's two-volume translation of the 'Musaeum Hermeticum' (1678) contains 22 fundamental alchemical treatises by authors such as Thomas Norton, Nicholas Flamel, Basil Valentine, and Jean de Meung. The work covers every aspect of the Hermetic art, from the search for the Philosopher's Stone to the spiritual rebirth of the practitioner. It is an essential primary source for the study of Renaissance and Baroque alchemy.
