Darmstadt alchemical and Freemasonic manuscript - Adam McLean - 01-16-2023
I have not seen this manuscript before. It seems to be from the 18th century and incorporates alchemical imagery within a Freemasonic context.

Here is another illustration from the Darmstadt manuscript. It clearly relates to the one I posted above.

Not much info in the description however.
I have asked some colleagues for further information.
‘Hermann’ is presumably the 4th Prince of Wied-Neuwied, 1814-1864.
The Profess-Stube (‘profession chamber’) would be where the oaths were sworn, though to what we can only surmise.
