Scope and Content
Illustrated history of alchemy across Egypt, Arabia, Greece, Rome, and Europe. Covers practice, symbols, the Philosopher's Stone, the elixir of life, and notable alchemists.
Why it Matters
A representative example of the contemporary illustrated history genre. The traditional Chinese binding makes the physical book itself part of what is being documented.
