This book delves into the intricate relationship between the universe and the human body, drawing upon ancient wisdom and the principles of alchemy and astrology. The author explores the concept of the microcosm and macrocosm, highlighting the interconnectedness of all things and the profound influence of celestial bodies on human health and well-being. Set against the backdrop of 17th-century European thought, this work challenges conventional medical practices of the time, advocating for a holistic approach that integrates spirituality, natural philosophy, and the transformative power of alchemical processes. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the fundamental elements and their corresponding celestial influences to unlock the secrets of true healing. Through a blend of philosophical inquiry, alchemical knowledge, and practical guidance, this book invites readers on a journey of self-discovery and exploration of the hidden forces that shape our lives.

A celebrated book about chemical medicine by Oswald Kroll (1563-1609), an alchemist and professor of medicine at the University of Marburg in Hesse, Germany. This undated edition is a slightly later reissue of that of 1609 with some modifications; it also slightly differs from all early editions we were able to collate with this copy. "Basilica Chymica" is supplemented with Kroll's treatise "De signaturis internis rerum" and "Elegia de vera antiqua philosophica medicina, Scripta a M. Ulrico Bollingero Ad DN. Osualdum Crollium, Medico-chymicum felicissimum, etc." The book features an engraved title page with emblems/diagrams and portraits of Hermes Trismegistus, Morienus, Lullus on one side, and Geber, Roger Bacon and Paracelsus on the other. This rare copper engraving was made by Aegidius Sadeler (1570-1629), a Flemish engraver who was principally active at the Prague court of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor. Antiqua typeface; pages are decorated with large woodcut headpieces, tailpieces and initials; two pages contain woodcut illustrations of instruments (see photos). A complete, well-preserved copy. Provenance: The copy contains two bookplates, ownership stamp, call numbers and other notes of the Capuchin Monastery in Hradcany (Prague); a coloured spine with handwritten title and call number is also typical for its library. The front endpaper has a simple recent bookplate of Petr Vopenka (1935-2015), a Czech mathematician and philosopher. /// Parchment binding with leather strings (backstrip with handwritten title and call number); hardback, [16]+283+[25]+[16]+80+[16]+24 pp., 8° (18 x 22 cm), parchment worn, yellowed and deformed, edges darkened, endpapers have a few bookworm traces, title leaf with two small paper labels pasted over its verso, some pages yellowed or slightly foxed, other signs of wear and age are rare (several pages with small water stain, a few tiny ink stains, small tear or chipped corner), condition: good Book Language/s: Latin.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. [Early Chemistry and Alchemy : The Science of Chemistry Moves from Paracelsus to greater standardization] 469, [12 page manuscript index]. 16 cm (8vo). Bound in contemporary vellum. Some wear, corrosion to front board. Binding sound, but moderate cover split at front hinge. All edges red. Some occasional foxing, particularly to the hand written index. Early ownership names on title page. "Croll or Crollius was born at Wetter in 1580, studied at Marburg, Heidelberg, Strasburg, Geneva, travelled, and became physician of Prince Christian of Anhalt-Bernberg. In medicine he was an adherent of Paracelsus, and invented several remedies. The first edition of the "Basilica chymica" was published at Franckfurt, 1608." - Ferguson. "The "Basilica chymica" became the standard scientific work of iatrochemistry. In sharp contrast with Paracelsus' vagueness, Crollius describes in detail the individual preparations, their composition, and their application. This explains why the book became such a great success, running to many editions and occasioning many commentaries." DSB 3, 471. From the library Dr. Owen Hannaway. Hannaway was director of the Center for the History and Philosophy of Science at Johns Hopkins University. He authored numerous books and served as an editor of academic magazines in the history of science.

2 parts in 1 volume. Rare fourth edition of an anonymous German translation of the most important work by the German chemist, alchemist, and physician Oswald Croll (or Crollius, ca. 1563-1609). The Basilica chymica is considered the standard work on iatrochemistry, a branch of both chemistry and medicine, rooted in alchemy and seeking to provide chemical solutions to diseases and medical ailments.According to Brüning the first Latin edition of the Basilica chymica was published in 1608 (Frankfurt am Main, G. Tampach) and re-issued many times between 1609 and 1624. The first French translation appeared in 1624, the first English translation in 1670. The richly decorated title page was engraved by the Flemish printmaker Aegidius Sadeler (1570-1629) and first published in the Latin edition of 1609, but apparently it has been reworked or newly engraved for our edition (with the name of Sadeler erased from the plate and with differences in the scrollwork cartouches and the lettering).The first part contains the privilege (printed in Latin) granted by the Austrian Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II (1578-1637). The divisional title page of the second part is titled Tractat von den innerlichen Signaturn, oder Zeichen aller Dinge. Oder von der wahren und lebendigen Anatomia der grossen und kleinen Welt . nunmehr aber auff das fleissigst und trewlichst verteutscht (Frankfurt am Main, printed by Caspar Rötel for Gottfried Tampach, 1629).With an owner's inscription on the recto of the first free flyleaf in black ink and an owner's inscription on the engraved title page in brown ink. The binding is soiled, the boards are slightly warped and show some scratches, with a cut in the vellum along the fore edge of the back board, all without affecting the structural integrity of the binding. Minor wormholes in the first blank leaves and the engraved title page, slightly browned throughout, occasionally lightly foxed. Otherwise in good condition.l Brüning 1495-1496; Duveen, p. 150; Partington II, pp. 174-177; Rosenthal 249; Thorndike V, pp. 649-651; USTC 2169435, 2524534 (5 copies); VD17 23:290265D (3 copies); WorldCat 26026464, 1426901737, 813721806, 633203525 (14 copies); cf.

With a richly engraved title page designed by Aegidius Sadeler, with circular alchemical diagrams at the top and below (the one below surrounded by alchemical equipment) and portraits of 6 famous alchemists in oval scrollwork cartouches (3 on either side): Hermes Trismegistus, Geber, Roger Bacon, Paracelsus, Ramon Llull, and Morienus Romanus; a divisional title page for part 2 with a woodcut vignette. Further with 5 small woodcut illustrations in the text (depicting alchemical instruments), several woodcut head- and tailpieces and decorated woodcut initials, numerous alchemical symbols at the end of part 2. All text is set within a printed single or double fillet frame. Pages: [8], 248, [15], [1 blank]; 72, [7], [1 blank] pp.
