IMAGE number: BL5337826
Image title: A king and queen with symbolic attributes. Two monarchs, possibly the recipients of the manuscript, with various symbols of longevity. The phoenix is shown on the left moulting and pecking at its breast and on the right rising from the flames triumphantly. The sun and moon, ever present, represent eternity as do the intertwined snakes. From a collection of treatises and poems on alchemy and the philosopher's stone, which was believed to bestow on its possessor the power of eternal life.
Location: British Library, London, UK
