A full color scholarly commentary volume on the Splendor Solis manuscript tradition, combining art historical, codicological and alchemical analysis by four specialists, with Joscelyn Godwin providing the first English translation made directly from the Early New High German of the Harley 3469 manuscript rather than through the corrupted French intermediary earlier translations relied on.
