Daniel Stolz von Stolzenberg

From the early 17th century Hermetic Garden

Daniel Stolz von Stolzenberg (Latin: Daniel Stolcius; 1600–1660) was a Czech medical doctor and writer on alchemy, a pupil of Michael Maier in Prague.

He is known for his 1624 emblem book Viridarium Chymicum, a significant anthology with sources in previous collections. It was followed in 1627 by the Hortulus Hermeticus.

Notes

  1. ↑ His name is often given as 'von Stolcenberg', i.e. from Stolzenberg, or 'von Stolcenbeerg'.
  2. ↑ According to John Manning, The Emblem (2002), Claude-François Menestrier's classification of Emblêmes Chymiques should apply to the book.
