Ioannis Danielis Mylii ... Philosophia reformata : continens libros binos. I. Liber in septem partes divisus est. ... II. Liber continet authoritates Philosophorum
Johann Daniel Mylius's Philosophia reformata, printed in Frankfurt in 1622 by Lucas Jennis, is a dense alchemical treatise in Latin, prepared for scholars and adepts of hermetic philosophy. Its pages carry small framed copperplate emblems in grids of four, each showing allegorical figures, vessels, and stages of the alchemical work. A designer might borrow the compartmented layouts, the emblematic scenes of kings, furnaces, and trees, and the crowded typographic texture of the text blocks.
