I found this image in Arthur John Hopkins's Alchemy Child of Greek Philosophy (http://bit.ly/zVtLQm), but I'd like to know where Hopkins found it. Any clues?
Thanks,
cae

I can't seem to find it anywhere in the standard books I have.
(sherwood Taylor, Reid, Holmyard) Nor in the 300 or so alchemical emblems on Adam's site. There is one mention of it online that i can find with a search, but they seem to have culled it from elsewhere and hosted it on their own or someone elses website and it isn't available.
It looks to be medieval, but I am not sure when.

Hi Chad,
It's from Leibniz:

Leibniz! Didn't see that one coming. (Like Alexander, I thought it looked medieval.)
Thanks much, Paul.

Yes, it has a distinct 'cloisters and gargoyles' sort of feel to it, but I think it was probably not an easy task for the typesetter and just came out looking odd.
If you ever need to track down an image on the Internet, try Tineye reverse-lookup:
