H. M. E. de Jong

Dr. H. M. E. de Jong was a student of art history. Her interest in iconology led her to the study of alchemical emblems. As she explored the field of alchemy and its sources in antiquity, she delved into the different aspects of alchemy, including the influence of theology, its deeply spiritual sources, and its psychological implications. Her original dissertation on alchemy led to the publication of this translation of her research into the Atalanta Fugiens. She currently resides in The Netherlands.
