The divine pymander of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus / translated from the Arabic by Dr. Everard. (1650) With introduction & preliminary essay by Hargrave Jennings.
The Divine Pymander of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus is an occult and alchemical text, translated by John Everard from a 1650 edition and issued in London by G. Redway in 1884 with an introduction by Hargrave Jennings. Its pictures are engraved decorative pieces: a frieze of sea creatures and chariot horses, and an oval wreath framing a standing female figure with a crescent moon, sun rays, an owl, an eagle, a bull and a lion. A designer might draw on their mythic, emblematic compositions for symbolic borders, zodiac-style motifs or esoteric cover art.
