Introduction. The fifteen plates of the Mutus Liber with descriptive summaries. Commentary
'The 15 plates of the Mutus Liber--the 'Mute Book'--are well known, and this book without words is recognized as a classic of the 17th-century alchemical tradition. Although the engravings seem to outline an alchemical process in detail, their message is not immediately obvious and it really requires a commentary to make it intelligible to the present-day reader....a synthesis of spiritual, soul, and physical alchemy.'
