Engravings from Michael Maier Symbola 1617.
Symbola aureae mensae duodecim nationum. Hoc est Hermaea seu Mercurii Festa ab Heroibus duodenis selectis, artis chymicae usu, sapientia et authoritate paribus celebrata, ad Pyrgopolynicen seu Adversarium illum tot annis iactabundum, virgini Chemiae Iniuriam argumentis tam vitiosis, quam conuitiis argutis inferentem, confundendum & exarmandum, Artifices vero optime de ea meritos suo honori & famae restituendum. Ubi et artis continuatio et veritas invicta 36 rationibus, et experientia librisque authorum plus quam trecentis demonstratur. Opus, ut Chemiae, sic omnibus antiquitatis & rerum scitu dignissimarum percupidis, utilissimum, 12 libris explicatum et traditum, figuris cupro incisio passim adjectis. Authore Michaele Maiero Comite Imperialis Consistorii, Nobili, Exempto, Med. Doct. P. C. olim Aulico Caes. Jennis, Frankfurt, 1617.
