<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Translated into English for the very first time, this rare work of French hermetic philosophy unlocks the symbolic philosophy of the <em>Emerald Tablet</em> in order to provide the foundations of alchemical practice.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Composed in Middle French, and preserved in an eighteenth-century manuscript which strongly influenced Fulcanelli, <em>The Key to the Hermetic Sanctum</em> presents itself with a singular purpose: to unlock the symbolic philosophy of the <em>Emerald Tablet</em> in order to provide the foundations of alchemical practice. </p><p><br></p><p>Previously unknown apart from some captivating citations from Fulcanelli, this mysterious text recently surfaced among the manuscripts of the Gallatins, a family of Swiss provenance who rose to prominence among the founding fathers of the United States of America. Originating specifically from the personal collection of Albert H. Gallatin-a professor of chemistry, geology, and mineralogy who devoted himself to the study of ancient langauges in order to understand alchemical texts-this manuscript is of singular interest to scholars of religion, historians of science, and practitioners of the royal art.</p><p><br></p><p>Translated into English for the very first time, <em>The Key to the Hermetic Sanctum</em> (<em>La Clef du Cabinet Hermétique</em>) appears here in a dual-language edition featuring a carefully prepared edition of the French text alongside a clear English translation. This copiously annotated volume comes with an introduction exploring the figure of Gallatin and his possible connections to Fulcanelli-one of the twentieth century's most enigmatic alchemists-together with an appendix clarifying the relationship of this work to other texts known under similar names.</p>
