'Antwort oder Sendschreiben an die von Gott erleuchte Brüderschafft vom Rosenkreutz: auff ihre Famam und Confession der Fraternitet', 1630 into English . 24 January 2012 Erik Mertens has kindly provided me with four more of his transcriptions of alchemical texts in German.

This is a wonderful addition to the German section 26 December 2011 Added article on the Supposed Papal prohibition of chemistry. This includes the famous Papal Bull of John XXII. 20 December 2011 Added an article by Nick Kollerstrom on Aurora, Golden Goddess of the Dawn 24 November 2011 My colleague Paul Ferguson has kindly struggled with the difficult Latin of the Antiphon of Johannes of Teschen and produced the first ever translation of this alchemical song. So I have now updated the Antiphon of Johannes of Teschen page with his transcription and translation. Created a new Dutch section incorporating a number of translations into Dutch by Ruud Muschter. Added woodcuts from Birelli Alchimia Nova, 1603. Added engravings of Alchemical apparatus in Blanckaert 'Theatrum chimicum' 23 November 2011 Added an early manuscript from around 1400 of alchemical music. The Antiphon of Johannes of Teschen. Added some pen drawings of alchemical apparatus in a manuscript of Harttung vom Hoff, 1557. Added Alchemical Symbols from a work by Annibal Barlet 22 November 2011 Added some alchemical symbols from a 16th century German manuscript. Added emblematic images from the 15th century Buch der heiligen Dreifaltigkeit manuscript. Reformatted about 500 pages which had formatting errors ! 7 November 2011 I have now integrated the Emblematic Art website, from which I sold my large format prints, and my Bosch website into the alchemy web site itself. This should be relatively transparent to the viewer. I did this because Google was not significantly indexing either the Emblematic Art or the Bosch site, and neither of these were getting the hit count I think they deserve. I have not significantly altered the material, but took the opportunity to improve a few links. The emblematic art prints are now accessed through www.alchemywebsite.com/Emblem_art and the Bosch material through www.alchemywebsite.com/bosch 20 October 2011 Added a further gallery, the sixth, of astronomical, astrological and cosmological emblems. 18 August 2011 Restructured the search engine for the site. This allows the user to search the main body of the site or specialist areas, manuscripts, books, imagery, tarot. 11 August 2011 Began a major upgrade to navigation menus on the site to make items more accessible. 2 August 2011 New publications in my Art Book Series 17 April 2011 Added image and commentary on The Glaive of Mars 12 April 2011 Added article by A.
