Provenance
Sources
The archive favors primary texts, named translations, and collection records from libraries and museums. Interpretive synthesis is marked as interpretation.
Manuscript witness
Images keep their provenance
Plates identify their work, collection, and source page. Core textual reference points include the Corpus Hermeticum, the Emerald Tablet, alchemical emblem books, and later Hermetic commentary presented in its historical period.
Collection record
Public collections remain one click away
The British Library, Wellcome Collection, Rijksmuseum, and Wikimedia Commons records used here remain linked in visible captions so readers can inspect the source context directly.
