Alchemy in Český Krumlov

[Paul Ferguson]

"The second half of the 16th century is usually called "the golden age of alchemy". Beside Emperor Rudolf II. von Habsburg, it was Wilhelm von Rosenberg who became the most important Maecenas of the hermetic sciences, especially of alchemy. Around the House of Rosenberg, in fact, arose a second center of hermetic and alchemic activity."
