The author charts the development of Maier's Hermetic worldview in the context of his service at the courts of Emperor Rudolf II and Moritz of Hessen-Kassel. The problem of the nature of early Rosicrucianism is addressed in detail with reference to Maier's role in the promotion of this "serious jest" in the years immediately prior to the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War. The work is set in the context of ongoing debates concerning the nature of early modern alchemy and its role in the history of Western esotericism. 410 0$aArbeiten zur Kirchengeschichte ;$v88. 606 $aAlchemy$xHistory 606 $aJungian psychology 606 $aRosicrucians$xHistory 615 0$aAlchemy$xHistory. 615 0$aJungian psychology. 615 0$aRosicrucians$xHistory. 676 $a540 686 $aBM 9430$2rvk 700 $aTilton$b Hereward$01648445 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824743703321 996 $aThe quest for the phoenix$93996580 997 $aUNINA
