Here are some more emblems from Michael Maiers Atalanta Fugiens presented with my apologies for the random order in which they are appearing here. The first picture is the title page which has the story of Atalanta and the Golden Apples around the border. The book The Zelator by Mark Hedsel and edited by David Ovason has some interesting information about this picture and is recommended reading as far as I am concerned.The second is Emblem 38, Rebis is a hermaphrodite produced from the mountains of Mercury and Venus.
The third is Emblem 34, He is conceived in Baths, born in the air, and being made Red he walks upon the waters.
The fourth is Emblem 8, Take an Egg and smite it with a fiery sword.
The fifth is Emblem 28, The King is sitting in a vaporous Bath and is freed from the Black Gall by the Physitian Pharut.
As before I would like to acknowledge Adam McCleans Alchemy website which I have linked to here http://www.alchemywebsite.com/atalanta.html I will be putting up more of these Emblems when I can find nice big copies.
