Alchemical Anthology

Sigismund Bacstrom

Sinopse

Sigismund Bacstrom (c. 1750-1805), a German a medical doctor, surgeon, naturalist, and a notable artist of the early maritime fur trade, is considered by some to be one of the most important scholars of Alchemy in the last few centuries.
As a doctor and naturalist, Bacstrom traveled extensively on merchant vessels all over the world, including voyages to Greenland (Spitsbergen), Guinea, Jamaica and Mauritius. While in Mauritius, he was initiated and admitted into the Fraternity of Rosicrucians on 12 September 1794 by the Comte Louis de Chazal. This Comte de Chazal is said to have been 96 years old at the time of Bacstrom's initiation according to McLean. His alchemical knowledge is said to have been transmitted to him in 1740 in Paris, and John W. Hamilton Jones suggests in the introduction to Bacstrom's Alchemical Anthology that Chazal's teacher is said to have been none other than the Count of St. Germain.
The Alchemical Anthology is certainly one of Bacstrom's most interesting works, an indispensable work for those who want to discover the secrets of Alchemy. Demonstrating great erudition and full knowledge of ancient alchemical texts, Bacstrom compares in this anthology the thoughts and writings of the greatest alchemists of the past.
