Encuadernación de tapa dura. Etat : Nuevo. Etat de la jaquette : Nuevo. 2ª Edición. This is the Study Book that accompanies the Moleiro limited edition exact reproduction of the Splendor Solis' Medieval illuminated manuscript sold at $8,300. Dies ist das Studienbuch, das der Moleiro Limited Edition exakte Reproduktion des mittelalterlichen illuminierten Manuskripts 'Splendor Solis' beiliegt, das für 8.300 US-Dollar verkauft wird. The Splendor Solis codex dated 1582 and housed in the British Library, London, is the most beautiful treatise on Alchemy ever made. The imagination and lyricism of its truly marvellous illustrations are awe-inspiring even to those not familiar with this subject. This sumptuously illustrated treatise has been traditionally, although wrongly, attributed to Salomon Trismosin, possibly a pen name of Ulrich Poysel, the master of the legendary Paracelsus. The secrets of kabbalah, astrology and alchemic symbolism are revealed on 22 folios bearing full-page illustrations with a wealth of colour and almost Baroque profusion of detail. This manuscript features 22 large paintings surrounded by floral or animal motifs belonging to the North-European style of Renaissance miniature. Like the context and the contents of book itself, all the illustrations are impenetrable and difficult to understand. Particularly noteworthy are the now famous Glaskolben or glass flasks depicted in a lavish painting in the centre, surrounded by typical town and country scenes of late medieval Germany beneath a celestial image of a pagan god that seems to endow the image as a whole with unity and meaning. Enki, Hermes Trismegistus, Mary the Jewess, Nicolas Flamel, Artephius, Alain de Lille, Albertus Magnus, Pietro d'Apone, Jean de Meung, Bernard Trevisan, Peretols, Johannes Trithemius, etc. none of these most celebrated alchemists created an alchemic treatise as beautiful and popular as the Splendor Solis.
