Nicholas Flamel and the Philosophers Stone
2009 reprint of 1624 edition. It is a collection of designs purportedly commissioned by Flamel for a tympanum at the Cimetičre des Innocents in Paris, long disappeared at the time the work was published. Nicolas Flamel was a successful scrivener and manuscript-seller who developed a posthumous reputation as an alchemist due to his reputed work on the philosopher's stone.An alchemical book published in London in 1624 as Exposition of the Hieroglyphical Figures was attributed to Flamel.
The essence of his reputation is that he succeeded at the two magical goals of alchemy -- that he made the Philosopher's Stone which turns lead into gold, and that he and his wife Perenelle achieved immortality. Some considered Flamel the most accomplished of the European alchemists.
