The author presents with this intellectual biography of the
Lutheran alchemist Count Michael Maier an academic study of western
esotericism in general and to the study of alchemy and
rosicrucianism in particular. The author charts the development of
Maier's Hermetic worldview in the context of his service at the
courts of Emperor Rudolf II and Moritz of Hessen-Kassel. The
problem of the nature of early Rosicrucianism is addressed in
detail with reference to Maier's role in the promotion of this
"serious jest" in the years immediately prior to the outbreak of
the Thirty Years' War. The work is set in the context of ongoing
debates concerning the nature of early modern alchemy and its role
in the history of Western esotericism.
