199133301Grand Rapids: Phanes Press 1991. Cloth bound in fine condition. Magnum Opus Hermetic Sourceworks No. 11; 60 pages with 15 full-page illustrations; Promotional descriptive card laid-in. The fifteen plates of the Mutus Liber the 'Mute Book' are well known and this book without words is recognised as a classic of the 17th century alchemical tradition. Although it seems to pictorially outline in detail an alchemical process its message is not immediately obvious and it really requires a commentary to make it intelligible to the present day reader. Adam McLean has here provided an extensive commentary on this series of engravings revealing it as a synthesis of spiritual soul and physical alchemy. Although tantalisingly the entire secret of the physical process is not fully revealed in these plates enough information is given to piece together details of a modus operandi; indeed modern French alchemists like Canseliet and Barbault have found great inspiration and hints as to the physical work in the Mutus Liber. Although these illustrations have been printed many times before they have not yet been issued in an edition with an extensive commentary and therefore this present volume should help to meet a need for an explanation of some of the mysteries of the Mutus Liber.

19911000934<p>A Commentary on the Mutus Liber by Adam McLean published in 1991. A detailed interpretive study of the Mutus Liber the celebrated seventeenth-century alchemical picture book whose sequence of enigmatic engravings presents the alchemical process through image rather than text. McLean offers a careful symbolic and philosophical analysis of the plates exploring their Hermetic spiritual and practical dimensions while situating the work within the broader tradition of emblematic alchemical literature. The commentary provides valuable guidance for understanding the visual language of alchemy and the inner processes of transformation it was intended to convey. Highly regarded among students and collectors of alchemical literature this volume is an essential companion to the Mutus Liber itself. Hardcover with gilt lettering near fine. Publisher's prospectus laid in.</p> Phanes Press hardcover
