ALCHEMY & MYSTICS (ES) – ROOB, ALEXANDER

Description

Alchemy and Mysticism It's much more than a book: it's a visual compendium of symbols, visions, and metaphors that have shaped European esoteric thought from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Alexander Roob compiles more than a thousand illustrations from manuscripts, engravings, alchemical treatises, and works of occult art, accompanied by explanations that reveal their spiritual, philosophical, and psychological significance.

This TASCHEN edition, carefully translated into Spanish, immerses us in the universe of alchemists, Christian mystics, Rosicrucians, and Hermeticists, showing how their coded images have influenced science, religion, and art. From the Solve et Coagula until the Opus Magnum, each page is a door to the invisible.

Ideal for collectors, artists, historians, and those curious about the human soul. A work that isn't read: it's contemplated, studied, and meditated upon.
