From Oxbow Book News 81: The Arabic Hermes: From Pagan Sage to Prophet of Science Kevin van Bladel OUP 2009 9780195376135 The first major study of the Arabic reception and interpretation of Hermes Trismegistus. H/b £45.00 Ramon Llull: A Contemporary Life edited and translated by Anthony Bonner Tamesis 2010 9781855661998 Llull's dictated autobiography. Latin text with facing-page translation. Colour plates. P/b £16.99 ...and an interesting one from the bargains section: The Devil's Cloth Michel Pastoureau Columbia UP 2001 H/b £17.00 -----> £4.95 'This wonderful book traces...why stripes were ascribed certain stigmas and derogatory associations from the 13th century onwards.' I do not know if the book contains any specific references to alchemical imagery, but given the stripy nature of some of it the book might be of interest.
