Philosopher’s Stone Book Reviews

From the classic anthology The Hermetic Museum to the richly illustrated Splendor Solis—often called the world’s most famous alchemical manuscript—these reviews trace how alchemists recorded their vision of the Stone. From The Book of Aquarius to writings both about and attributed to Count Saint Germain (Comte de St. Germain), they highlight how different authors approached alchemy’s central mysteries.
