A comparison is made between alchemical theory concerning the perfectibility of prime matter and Christian eschatological doctrine concerning human salvation through Christ's sacrifice in universal history and in the ritual of the mass.A detailed analysis is made of the engraved illustrations constituting an integral part of the alchemical medicine and physiology of Heinrich Khunrath, Stefan Michelspacher, Jacob Boehme, Abraham von Franckenberg and Robert Fludd.Aries book series ;v. 1.AlchemyReligious aspectsChristianityHistory16th centuryApocalyptic literatureHistory and criticismReformationAlchemyReligious aspectsChristianityHistoryApocalyptic literatureHistory and criticism.Reformation.540/.1120943Szulakowska Urszula1644781MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966154403321The sacrificial body and the day of doom4476590UNINA
