Trithemius is best known for his hidden writing- the infamous Steganographia, but his other works, including this short grimoire on the use of crystals in summoning celestial spirits, are no less potent. Through the use of a simple wand, pedestal, lamen, and a polished and clear crystal, Trithemius states that it is possible to manifest and converse with celestial forces and to constrain them through the use of simple invocation and prayer.

This little book contains three short alchemical manuscripts from the 1th and 17th centuries. All three have been rendered into modern English. First there is the Immortal Liquor; Alkahest, of Philalethes, showing the nature of and creation of the infamous precursor to the stone of the philosophers. Second to this is a tract on the Everburning Lights of Trithemius- a second-hand account of his phosphorescent capabilities. Finally, there is Pontanus' Philosophic Fire, containing the secret of the alchemical process with regards to the secretive and all-important fire used during the work itself.

cryptographer lexicographer occultist chronicler
He was born at Trittenheim on the Moselle, on February 1, 1462.
After an unhappy childhood, he studied at Heidelberg, and at the age of twenty entered the Benedictine monastery of Sponheim near Kreuznach, of which, in 1485, he became abbot.
He established an excellent library, and through his strict discipline and consummate scholarship soon raised the monastery to an educational institution of a high order. In 1506 he resigned, and was appointed soon after abbot of the monastery of St Jakob at Würzburg, ; and in this city he died on the 13th of December 1516. Trithemius was, though an accomplished scholar, untrustworthy as a chronicler, and his Annales hirsaugienses (1514), Annales de origine Francorum, as well as his Chronologia mystica (1516) are, on this account, of doubtful value. More reliance can, however, be placed on his De scriptoribus ecclesiasticis (1494) and the Calalogus illustrium virorum Germaniae (1491). He also wrote a fanatical book against sorcery, Antipalus maleficiorum (1508).
