Item Details
Von wahrer Alchemie: Die Bereitung des Steins der Weisen im Innen und AuBen in Theorie und Praxis [Alchemy].
Freiburg: Hermann Bauer, 1983. First Edition. Original Wraps. "Archarion’s Italian edition of Von Wahrer Alchemie, is the most comprehensive Great Work or Opus Magnum scheme, as far as I know. Great Work is Alchemist as well as Secret Fire Work. It is a co-operation. This necessary scheme doesn’t need too much exegesis: it renders the main three different stages or works and is indispensable to understanding the “why” in ancient treatises."
From the personal library collection of Brian Cotnoir, alchemist, artist and award-winning filmmaker. Author of Practical Alchemy: Guide to the Great Work, The Emerald Tablet, a series of Alchemical ‘Zines, Alchemical Meditations, Alchemy: The Poetry of Matter and most recently On Alchemy: Essential Practices and Making Art as Alchemy. He has presented seminars and workshops around the world on various aspects of the alchemy. Khepri Press was started in 2014 as a place to organize and distribute his work. It is a very small press dedicated to alchemical book arts. Some of this work is publishable and others may exist only in manuscript or object form – alchemical results or talismans. Near Fine in Wraps. Near fine, light shelfwear, else tight, bright, and unmarred. 8vo. 253pp. Illus. (b/w). Printed wrappers. Former owner library stamp. In German. Item #13565
