The Hermetic Museum takes readers on a magical mystery tour spanning an arc from the medieval cosmogram and images of Christian mysticism, through the fascinating world of alchemy to the art of the Romantic era. The enigmatic hieroglyphs of cabalists, Rosicrucians, and freemasons are shown to be closely linked with the early scientific illustrations in the fields of medicine, chemistry, optics, and color theory. Even for those with no knowledge of the fascinating history of alchemy, this book is a delight to explore. Each richly illustrated chapter begins with an introduction and quotes from alchemists by specialist Alexander Roob. The roots of surrealism and many other more recent artistic movements can be found in this treasure trove.

This is a prodigious source for historical alchemical and related occultic images almost all in color giving the hue and cast of the original, often centuries-old documents. The commentary is largely accurate and insightful. The Taschen pocket book 2-D format is a bit unwieldy given the 3rd dimension is approximately 2" thick. If you go for Jungian or related works, and are interested in perusing more of the legacy of imagery, then this book is a must.
