Daniel Stolz von Stolzenberg

Daniel Stolz von Stolzenberg[a] (Latin: Daniel Stolcius; 1600–1660) was a Czech physician and writer on alchemy, a pupil of Michael Maier in Prague.[1]

He is known for his 1624 emblem book Viridarium Chymicum,[2] a significant anthology[3] with sources in previous collections.[4][b] It was followed in 1627 by the Hortulus Hermeticus.[5][6]

Notes

  1. ^ His name is often given as 'von Stolcenberg', i.e. from Stolzenberg, or 'von Stolcenbeerg'.
  2. ^ According to John Manning, The Emblem (2002), Claude-François Menestrier's classification of Emblêmes Chymiques should apply to the book.
