Zoroaster - Alchemical Illustrations, “Clavis Artis”, 1236 AD. The Clavis Artis is an alchemical manuscript believed to have been produced in the late 17th or early 18th century. The text is attributed to “Zoroaster (“Zarathustra”) the rabbi and Jew” who claimed to have written the book over “a dragon skin”. Zoroaster’s manuscript details various rites and practices relating to alchemy. It has been suggested the text may have been lifted from an earlier work, while its author “Zoroaster” may have been Abraham Eleazar - an occultist who wrote another alchemical text “L’Uraltes Chymisches Werk” in 1735. However both these manuscripts contain imagery to be found in an even earlier alchemical manuscripts by Nicolas Flamel - the man who allegedly found the Philosopher’s Stone. Whatever the book’s provenance it is fair to say these illustrations from Clavis Artis are quite beautiful and strange.
