A Lexicon of Alchemy: An Alchemical Dictionary — Martin Rulandus | Paperback

The language of the Great Work, fully decoded.

This expanded edition of Martin Rulandus’s foundational Lexicon of Alchemy — edited by A.E. Waite and Robert L. Angus — offers a full and plain explanation of every obscure word, Hermetic subject, and arcane phrase found in the writings of Paracelsus. At 666 pages, it is the most comprehensive alchemical dictionary in print: a reference work for the serious practitioner, the devoted scholar, and the curious initiate alike.

Rulandus himself (1532–1602) was a German physician and alchemist, a follower of Paracelsus who understood the language of alchemy not as poetry, but as precision. This edition honors that precision.
