Fulcanelli: Master Alchemist: Le Mystere des Cathedrales - Esoteric Intrepretation of the Hermetic Symbols of The Great Work by Fulcanelli decodes the symbology found upon and within the Gothic Cathedrals of Europe which have openly displayed the secrets of alchemy for 700 years. In 1920, a French student of alchemy, Eugene Canseliet, was studying under Fulcanelli, an alchemist master whose real name, to this day, is unknown. Fulcanelli handed his pupil a manuscript, charged him with the task of publishing it - and disappeared. For nearly half a century, painstaking research by scholars has failed to find the slightest trace of Fulcanelli. He has simply vanished, as though he had never existed. Only his masterpiece Le Mystere des Cathedrales remains. For nearly fifty years it has been a legend, its first edition utterly unobtainable in Europe. Illustated.
