Orders Of The Great Work - Alchemy By Manly P. Hall

Publishing: 1976 by The Philosophical Research Society; Second Printing

Condition: Very Good- / tape on spine that can be removed if done with care 

Here is the origin of the concept of Alchemy, its rise in Egypt as the secret doctrine of Hermes, its migration to Arabia, and its relation to the early schools of Christianity. The course of the alchemical mystery is followed from the Near East through the Byzantine Empire and into Europe. During these travels many pioneers in this field are met, including Roger Bacon, Lully, Flamel, Paracelsus, and more. The letters of Sendivogius to the Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross, almost completely unknown to the modern world, are discussed. One of the better general titles on the historical importance of a very intriguing Occult science.
