Publisher's Synopsis
The Book of Lambspring is a text written by an anonymous ancient philosopher, which has been translated and annotated by Arthur Edward Waite. The book is concerned with the concept of the Philosophical Stone, a legendary substance believed to have the power to transmute base metals into gold and provide eternal life. The text is written in poetic form and includes 15 engravings that depict various stages of the alchemical process. The book also includes a commentary by Waite, who provides historical context and explanations of the symbolism used in the text. The Book of Lambspring is considered a valuable resource for those interested in the history of alchemy and the search for the Philosophical Stone.THIS 42 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Hermetic Museum Restored, by Arthur Edward Waite.
