Hardcover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. Edinburgh: Magnum Opus Hermetic Sourceworks, 1984. AS NEW - Signed/Dated/Hand Numbered by McLean - 7th January 1984. "Commentary on the Chymical Wedding issued as Number 18 of the Magnum Opus Hermetic Sourceworks Series has been produced as an edition bound by hand and limited to 250 copies only". From the Publisher : "This series of limited edition hand-bound books by Adam McLean were initially produced between 1979 and 1986. They were never sold through book dealers, but only by direct mail order. Consequently, these books became collectors items, often fetching high prices on the second-hand market. The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz is well known as the major piece of early Rosicrucian writing. It is in the form of an allegorical romance, with a well-paced plot that captures the interest of the reader, and through the medium of allegory, conveys the essential esoteric philosophy underlying Rosicrucianism. Although the text in a 17th century English translation has been available recently in various publications, it really needs a commentary to help unravel the elaborate threads of esoteric ideas that form its fabric. Adam McLean here attempts to provide such an extensive commentary, hoping to elucidate and throw some light upon the tranformative process outlined in this most important of Alchemical allegories. Limited edition of 250 copies. 180 pages. 38 illustrations. A5 Hardbound.". First Edition Limited. Hardcover/Hand Made by McLean. As New.
