Abstract
The Rosarium philosophorum, published in Frankfurt in 1550, is an anonymous text of alchemy. The text constantly shifts between physical alchemy, statements about experiments with substance, and the realm of soul alchemy, the task of the
inner transmutation of forces within man’s soul. In that it sought to unite these two alchemical realms, the Rosarium sets a style in which the physical process became a mirror for soul development, and the inner content of soul experiences
became projected upon outer processes in the laboratory or the natural world. [second paragraph]
