## Description

This dictionary documents alchemical symbolism from the early centuries AD to the late-twentieth century, for use by historians of literary culture, philosophy, science and the visual arts, and readers interested in alchemy and hermeticism. Each entry includes a definition of the symbol, giving the literal (physical) and figurative (spiritual) meanings, an example of the symbol used in alchemical writing, and a quotation from a literary source. There are fifty visual images of graphic woodcuts, copperplate engravings and hand-painted emblems, some reproduced here for the first time.

Review: Excellent Dictionary - When I first bought this, I thought it is going to be a book of literal imagery with explanations, which it is not. However, it's value in deceipting alchemical termonoligy easily won it a place on my shelf. Very few good alchemical dictionays out there, this is definitely one of them. I'm you are an alchemical researcher, regardless of the path, this is for you. Thank you 😊
Review: Fantastic and comprehensive! - The ultimate resource on the subject.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely valuable
*by F***E on July 26, 2013*

Having come from no background or experience in alchemy whatsoever, my work on Fixed Stars Govern a Life: Decoding Sylvia Plath (out in Spring 2014, Stephen F. Austin State U. Press) immersed me in the world and I had a lot to learn fast. This book, along with Carl Jung's Psychology and Alchemy, were my bibles. A Dictionary of Alchemical Imagery takes a hard-to-grasp, weird world and simplifies alchemy in friendlier and even fun terms. I may not want to take up chemistry on the practical level, but it is understood that in this journey of life, the world would be a better place if we were all striving to turn lead to gold.
