The wise-mans crown, or, The glory of the rosie-cross : shewing the wonderful power of nature, with the full discovery of the true coelum terrae, or first matter of metals, and their preparations into incredible medicines or elixirs that cure all diseases in young or old : with the regio lucis, and holy houshold of rosie crucian philosophers
A Rosicrucian and alchemical tract by John Heydon, printed for the author in London in 1664 and sold to readers of occult philosophy and medicine. The pictures are letterpress ornament: woodcut headpiece bands of scrolling foliage with grotesque masks and small winged figures, plus a leafy initial Y, all with coarse hatching and visible ink spread useful as period rules, dividers and drop caps.
