El libro de las figuras jeroglificas

by Nicolas Flamel

El Libro de las Figuras Jeroglíficas de Nicolás Flamel es sin duda el más famoso de los textos de alquimia occidentales; escrito para aportar nuevas luces sobre el Elixir de Larga Vida, este libro toma su origen en otro enigmático El libro de Abraham el judío cuya existencia se discute aún hoy en día, y sirvió de inspiración a otro libro no menos enigmá El misterio de las Catedrales de Fulcanelli. El Libro de las Figuras Jeroglíficas es el primer documento escrito sobre el sentido iniciático y alquímico del Camino de Santiago.

About the author

Nicolas Flamel was a successful French scrivener and manuscript-seller who developed a posthumous reputation as an alchemist due to his reputed work on the philosopher's stone. Due to the many legends that accrued to his name, he has sometimes been supposed to be the creation of 17th-century editors; however, more recently official documents relating to his life have been found, including his marriage contract with Perenelle, his deeds of gift, and his will. Nevertheless, the works published under his name are highly disputed, and are more often described as "attributed to" rather than "written by" him.
