Jacob Boehme And Alchemy

by Howard H. Brinton

Book Overview

""Jacob Boehme and Alchemy"" is a book written by Howard H. Brinton that explores the life and work of Jacob Boehme, a German mystic and philosopher who lived in the 16th and 17th centuries. The book focuses on Boehme's interest in alchemy, a branch of science that seeks to transform base metals into gold and to discover the elixir of life.

The book also explores Boehme's influence on later alchemists, including Carl Jung and the Rosicrucians.
