Maier (1568–1622), German physician, alchemist, and Rosicrucian, understood that the Great Work could not be stated plainly. It had to be veiled. And so he veiled it, in a story that rewards those with the wisdom to read beneath the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is edited by Tarl Warwick, who has brought Maier's text to modern readers with care and precision.
