Monas Hieroglyphica is a book written by Dr. John Dee, a renowned mathematician, philosopher, and alchemist of the 16th century. The book was published in 1564 and is considered one of the most important works in the field of alchemy.The book is a treatise on alchemy and its symbols, with a particular focus on the monad, a concept that Dee believed to be the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe. The monad is a symbol that represents unity and wholeness, and Dee believed that it was the foundation of all things.In Monas Hieroglyphica, Dee explores the symbolism of the monad and its relationship to other alchemical symbols, such as the sun, moon, and planets. He also delves into the practical applications of alchemy, including the transmutation of metals and the creation of the Philosopher's Stone.The book is written in a highly symbolic and esoteric style, and it has been interpreted in many different ways over the centuries. Some have seen it as a mystical treatise on the nature of reality, while others have viewed it as a practical guide to alchemical experimentation.Regardless of its interpretation, Monas Hieroglyphica remains an important work in the history of alchemy and a testament to Dee's intellectual and philosophical prowess.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1922 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
