A propos de cet article

Brisbane/Chiang Mai: Modern Magistery an Imprint of Salamander and Sons, 2011. NEW - Limited Edition Presentation Bookplate Signed By Tony Matthews. From the Publisher (see image) : "Upon its publication in 1976, In Pursuit of Gold - written by the enigmatic Lapidus - was hailed as a rare work by one of the few practicing laboratory alchemists writing in English during the mid-to-late 20th century. Primarily building upon three alchemical texts - namely The Sophic Fire by John Pontanus, The Secret Book of Artephius and Sir George Ripley's long poem, Twelve Gates - and more than two dozen of Theodor de Bry's masterful engraved emblems from Michael Maier's 1618 Atalanta Fugiens, Lapidus proffers his own observations and practical conclusions drawn from decades of quiet alchemical work in his subterranean Melcombe Street laboratory. Contemporary alchemists with an interest in the confection of the star regulus of antimony will assuredly gain from reading and re-reading In Pursuit of Gold. Beyond simply confirming the true identity of Lapidus as David Curwen, this revised and expanded second edition includes a foreword from Stephen Skinner, responsible for the "additions and extractions" of the first edition, along with an introductory biographical essay on Lapidus - his life, family, alchemical work, and writings - by Tony Matthews, grandson of Lapidus. This second edition of In Pursuit of Gold also features intimate personal and family photographs, facsimiles of correspondence between Lapidus and the great alchemical historians F. Sherwood Taylor and E.J. Holmyard, and original oil paintings by Lapidus. Presented as full colour plates, these photographs, items of correspondence and artworks appear here in print for the first time". Revised and Expanded 2nd Edition. Hard Cover/Cloth Buckram. New/New. Illus. by Theodor de Bry, Lapidus [David Curwen], Two Plate Sections on Glossy Coated Paper Stock, Many In Full Color. 8vo size - over 9¼" tall. …
