A Lexicon of Alchemy — Martinus Rulandus | Paperback

Every art has its language. This is alchemy’s dictionary.

First compiled by Martinus Rulandus — German physician, alchemist, and devoted follower of Paracelsus — the Lexicon of Alchemy remains the definitive reference for the obscure vocabulary of the Hermetic arts. Arcane phrases, Paracelsian terminology, and the full symbolic language of the Great Work, explained with the precision of a practitioner who understood these terms not as metaphor, but as method.

This facsimile paperback reprint preserves the original text in its entirety. Age may have left its marks — notations, marginalia, the patina of time — but the knowledge within is intact and irreplaceable.
