A 1620 German alchemical treatise by Daniel Mögling, printed by an unnamed publisher, introducing the Rosicrucian brotherhood and the Philosopher's Stone to readers interested in hermetic philosophy. Its woodcut plates show a central figure in a circular diagram, enthroned figures in roundels, a winged dragon above a globe, and a crowded scene of armed men around a fallen body, framed in ornamental borders with dense black-letter text beside them that a designer could use for emblematic compositions.
