Eirenaei Philalethae Erklärung der hermetisch poetischen Werke Herrn Georgii Riplaei : enthaltend die kläreste und fürtreflichste Entdeckung der verborgensten Geheimnisse der alten Philosophen, so bishero niemals öffentlich kund gemachet
This 1741 German alchemy treatise, printed by Gottfried Richter and attributed to George Starkey under the pseudonym Eirenaeus Philalethes, explains the hermetic poems of George Ripley for readers of esoteric philosophy. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments of baroque cartouches, scrolled acanthus leaves, and flower baskets with pendant tassels, useful to a designer seeking period decorative borders, dividers, and symmetrical frame motifs.
