This collection comprises alchemical manuscripts dating from 1500 to 1825, gathered by Manly Palmer Hall, a renowned scholar of esotericism and founder of the Philosophical Research Society. The manuscripts represent a broad spectrum of alchemical thought, featuring works by influential figures such as Jakob Böhme, Sigismond Bacstrom, Alessandro Cagliostro, and Michael Maier, including a version of Maier's famous "Atalanta Fugiens." The collection also includes a 'Ripley Scroll, ' attributed to George Ripley, a significant figure in English alchemy.
These texts offer invaluable insight into the history of alchemy, its philosophical underpinnings, and its connections to mysticism, Rosicrucianism, and the broader intellectual landscape of the Renaissance and Enlightenment. The collection is a crucial resource for researchers interested in the history of science, religion, and Western esotericism, providing a window into the minds of those who sought to unlock the secrets of nature and the universe.
