This is the final book written by the seventeenth-century occultist
and alchemist, Thomas Vaughan (1621 66). Originally published under
Vaughan's penname, Eugenius Philalethes, in 1655, the work found a
new audience in the Rosicrucian circles of the nineteenth century,
when William Wynn Westcott, Supreme Magus of the Society,
republished the volume in 1896 with a commentary by an associate,
S. S. D. D. 'I have read many Alchemical Treatises', its annotator
comments, 'but never one of less use to the practical Alchemist
than this.' For its later readers, however, the value of the text
lay in its insights into the history of hermetic thought rather
than its alchemical advice. An important work of occultist
philosophy in both its seventeenth- and nineteenth-century
contexts, it purports to reveal nothing less than the origin of all
life. The paragraph-by-paragraph commentary in turn demonstrates
the history of its reception and interpretation.
