- Alchemy & Mysticism. / : Alexander Roob. Taschen,
Bibliotheca Universalis, 2019.
The Hermetic Museum takes readers on a magical mystery tour
spanning an arc from the medieval cosmogram and images of Christian
mysticism, through the fascinating world of alchemy to the art of
the Romantic era. The enigmatic hieroglyphs of cabalists,
Rosicrucians, and freemasons are shown to be closely linked with
the early scientific illustrations in the fields of medicine,
chemistry, optics, and color theory. Even for those with no
knowledge of the fascinating history of alchemy, this book is a
delight to explore. Each richly illustrated chapter begins with an
introduction and quotes from alchemists by specialist Alexander
Roob. The roots of surrealism and many other more recent artistic
movements can be found in this treasure trove.
