EDITORS COMMENTS
The Emerald Tablet, also known as the Smaragdine Table or Tabula Smaragdina, is a legendary text and symbol in the realm of alchemy, attributed to the revered figure of Hermes Trismegistus. This engraving provides a visual representation of the principles outlined in the text, which summarizes the process of the Magnum Opus or Great Work, the ultimate goal of alchemical practice being the creation of the Philosopher's Stone. The tablet itself is depicted as a horizontal, emerald-green surface, upon which the inscription, "Science was given to thee, O man, in thy making. Have a care therefore to make thyself worthy of the same." is etched. The central image shows the sun and moon, symbolizing the complementary principles of sulfur and mercury, the two essential elements in the alchemical process. The older men and women in the illustration, dressed in the attire of scholars, are deeply engrossed in studying the tablet, their faces reflecting a sense of profound contemplation and wisdom. The engraving, with its intricate details and rich colors, serves as a testament to the enduring allure and fascination that the mysteries of alchemy hold for scientists and scholars, even to this day.
