Universally recognized as a cornerstone bibliographic reference, Alchemy and the Occult catalogs the unparalleled esoteric library assembled by Paul and Mary Mellon. Now permanently housed at Yale's Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, the Mellon Collection stands as one of the world's most prestigious institutional holdings of hermetic literature. Across this massive, exquisitely produced volume, Witten and Pachella meticulously document hundreds of foundational manuscript texts spanning from the late seventeenth century through the early twentieth century, encompassing European alchemy, astrology, magic, and the early chemical sciences. Produced in a limited edition of 500, the work serves not merely as an inventory of the Mellon holdings, but as an essential bibliographic reference for the study of later alchemical manuscripts. The colophon reads: "Five hundred copies [.] of this Catalogue of Books on Alchemy and the Occult from the Collection of Paul and Mary Mellon have been printed by The Meriden Gravure Company of Meriden, Connecticut. They have been designed by Joseph Blumenthal and printed by offset lithography. The typography was executed by The Stinehour Press of Lunenburg, Vermont.".…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Alchemy and the Occult is an essential bibliographic reference that catalogs one of the most comprehensive private collections of alchemical and occult literature ever assembled. The work, spanning four volumes, meticulously documents rare books, manuscripts, and printed materials related to alchemy, esotericism, astrology, magic, and early chemistry. The Mellon Collection, housed at the Yale University Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, is one of the most prestigious collections of its kind, featuring hundreds of primary texts from the medieval, Renaissance, and early modern periods. The catalogue serves as both an academic resource and a historical record, providing scholars with insights into the intellectual traditions of alchemy and occultism. Bound in full two toned cloth with leather labels at spine. Folio: in orig. slipcase, usual external wear but still VG, internal condition excellent. Only 500 sets were published. Complete copies such as ours are now scarce on the market. Of considerable bibliographic and historic interest, this impressive achievement minutely describes 160 printed works (Vols. 1-2) and 149 manuscripts in the collection, beginning chronologically with Apollonius (circa 1225), and ending with Thomas Taylor (1790). A splendid catalogue that includes detailed bibliographical descriptions for each of the 160 printed books; each is described with painstaking accuracy, and appears with illustrations. In Vols. 3-4, the 149 manuscripts are minutely described (most of these were purchased by Mellon from Denis Duveen). These four volumes represent some of the "crown jewels" in the kingdom of hermetic bibliography, and continue to inspire and inform students and scholars of Witchcraft, Wicca, Pagan Ritual, Occult, folklore, anthropology, primitive races and customs, Mythology, Ancient Magical Practices, Ritual and Initiation, Secret Societies, Rosicrucian Egyptology, Ancient Magical practices, Aleister Crowley, Andrew Chumbley, Ceremonial and Black Magic, Grimoire, O.T.O.
