Michael Maier’s Atalanta Fugiens:
Sources of an Alchemical Book of Emblems
H. M. E. de Jong. With reproductions of several hard-to-find foldouts of alchemical engravings, this book is a collector’s edition of a classic alchemical study. First published in 1617, Atalanta Fugiens is Michael Maier’s finest work. Each of the 50 emblems of Atalanta Fugiens consists of a motto, a print, and an epigram. De Jong’s translation and commentary on the mottos and epigrams reveals the meaning and importance of the Atalanta Fugiens, the sources Maier used, and the mutual relationships between the emblems. She also includes an additional 30 alchemical engravings that explain her research. 2002. 480 pp. • 6” x 9” • ISBN 0-89254-060-5 • Hardcover, $80.00

A Gnostic Book of Hours: Keys to Inner Wisdom
June Singer has recast the wisdom found in ancient Gnostic texts into a lovely book of hours, the traditional framework for an ongoing meditative practice. It is divided into eight “offices,” or prayers for different parts of the day: matins (midnight), lauds (daybreak); prime (beginning of the workday), terce, sext, none (the “little hours” during the work day), vespers (sundown), and compline (retiring to sleep). For each office, Singer has selected a text for each day of the week. She annotates and interprets the ancient text and makes it relevant for today’s readers. 8 color plates and color printing throughout. 2003.
