Description:
[17] pp. + 15 facsimile engraved plates. 38.5x27.5 cm (15¼x10¾"), original wrappers tied with cord. No. 204 of 295 copies (of which 10 were hors commerce), signed by the publisher.
Reproduction of the original suite of engravings comprising the Mutus Liber, one of the major books on alchemy and Hermetic philosophy, first published in La Rochelle in 1677. The work is called "Liber Mutus" because the illustrations were meant to be self-explanatory to alchemical adepts and were thus printed without any accompanying explanation. The printed text is an original 20th century commentary. Quite rare.
Condition
Some chipping to wrappers, top 4" of spine strip missing; some internal toning, very good.
