A bound group of alchemical and hermetic manuscripts assembled by collector Manly Palmer Hall, copied in Europe between about 1500 and 1825 and now at the Getty Research Institute. Watercolour figure drawings show crowned kings, queens, and mitred bishops in flat robes of red, blue, violet, and green, holding sceptres and flowering staffs against blank grounds — usable as isolated allegorical figures.
