The Alchemical Engravings of Mylius, with the text of Part Four of the First Book of the Philosophia Reformata of J. D. Mylius, translated from the Latin by Patricia Tahil with a commentary by Adam McLean, published in 1984. A finely produced modern edition presenting the celebrated alchemical engravings of Johann Daniel Mylius alongside an English translation of one of the most visually and symbolically rich sections of his Philosophia Reformata. The work explores the allegorical and philosophical dimensions of early seventeenth-century alchemy, combining emblematic imagery with Hermetic and spiritual interpretation. Adam McLean’s commentary provides valuable insight into the symbolism and intellectual context of the plates, making this volume an important resource for students and collectors of alchemy and esoteric art. Limited to 250 signed and numbered copies, this being copy number 122. Bound in leatherette, near fine; illustrations show some transfer to the opposite page, particularly the frontispiece, a condition common to some of these hand-bound editions.
