About This Item
Toulouse, Pierre Bosc, 1634. *** Première édition. Ce médecin de Castelnaudary, (1588-1658), auteur de nombreux ouvrages d'alchimie, soutient que les travaux d'Hercules sont des allégories contenant les arcanes de la philosophie hermétique. Michael Sendivogius faisait grand cas des écrits de P.J. Fabre. "In Hercules Piochymicus not only the twelve labors of Hercules are interpreted alchemically but also his begetting fifty sons from the fifty daughters of Thespius in a single night and his death from the poisoned robe of Nessus. The conclusion of the all work is an anathema to those who would have alchemy made perfectly plain to fools in words of one syllable, and a request that believers in transmutation await the appearance of his Panchymicus." Thorndike, History of magic & experimental science VII, 194. Marque d'imprimeur de Pierre Bosc sur le titre. Imprimé par Pierre d'Estey selon l'achevé d'imprimé. Rousseurs. *** In-8 de (16), 191 pp. Demi-basane brune, dos orné.
