Sal, lumen, et spiritus mundi philosophici or the dawning of the day, discovered by the beams of light: shewing the true salt and secret of the philosophers, the first and universal spirit of the world ...
A 1657 alchemical treatise by Ludwig Combach, printed in London by F. C. for Martha Harrison, from the library of C.G. Jung. The single picture is a cover-style design: a winged angel above a heraldic shield with a cross, a gold star, and grape clusters, flanked by scrolling ornament and the Latin motto 'vocatus deus advent' with the name G. Jung. Designers may take its dense black ground, gold and grey tonal blocking, and the way the shield and scrollwork frame a central figure.
