Nicolas Flamel - The Figures of Abraham the Jew
This series of seven figures, purports to be a copy of an original 'Book of Abraham the Jew' which Nicolas Flamel is supposed to have found in the 14th Century, and which inspired him to undertake his quest for the secrets of alchemy. There are no early manuscripts of these figures, but there are many beautifully coloured manuscripts dating from the late 17th and the 18th century. The figures often appear in different orders from the one given below.
Mercurius meets with Saturn
Planetary dragons on a hill
The workers in the garden
The massacre of the innocents
The winged caduceus of Mercurius
The crucified snake
Snakes among the hills
