Clavis Alchimiae
Clavis Philosophiae et Alchymiae (1632), by Robert Fludd. The work discussed alchemy as a spiritual path, and attempted to defend the Rosicrucian brotherhood from its Catholic critics. In 1632, the whole edition of the work was destroyed in Frankfurt by the militia; but the work was reprinted the following year.
