Summary: Offering a biography of this alchemical pioneer
Review: First published in 1914, the photo-mechanically reproduced edition of Count Michael Maier: Life And Writings by J. B. Craven analyzes all of the works about alchemy created by Count Michael Maier (1568-1622). Offering a biography of this alchemical pioneer, his pursuit for the formula that would transmute lead into gold, his views of alchemy as both science and a metaphor for spiritual attainment, and so much more, Count Michael Maier: Life And Writings is an amazing compilation that sublimely captivates a creative passion that transcends its century of origin. Count Michael Maier: Life And Writings is an invaluable addition to contemporary Alchemy Studies reading lists and reference collections.
