This manuscript, fundamental for lovers of the Science of Hermes, possesses singular value for the experienced reader, for it hints—with the discretion characteristic of true philosophers—at the very matter upon which our work must rest. The author does not name it directly; rather, he points to it with a subtlety that only those who know the true name of the subject can recognize as a trace or indication of its presence.
Even so, the text offers another path to understanding. Through a series of carefully arranged colored engravings, it leads the reader toward the intuition of that which the ancients concealed beneath the figure of our Dragon, symbol of the primary subject of the Great Work.
We are, in effect, before one of the most celebrated writings that indicates the Corpus—the body or foundation—upon which the elaboration of the Philosopher's Stone must be undertaken. And this is no minor author: tradition attributes these pages to Basil Valentine, the same philosopher to whom we owe the famous Currus Triumphalis Antimonii.
With such credentials, little more could be added to justify the presence of this work in the library of every serious art scholar.
