This volume of essays on Jean-Baptiste Lully and his musical legacy honours the distinguished French baroque scholar James R. Anthony. Jean-Baptiste Lully, court composer to Louis XIV, served as the principal architect of what would become known as the French style of music in the baroque era. The style he created strongly influenced the great musical figures in England (Purcell and Handel) and Germany (Bach and Telemann), but Lully's music itself has received little attention. Recently, through the efforts of scholars and musicians concerned with the performance practices of Lully's time, Lully's own music has begun to come alive in performance and recording. These essays, all by important baroque specialists, cover significant aspects of Lully's life and works and the French tradition he influenced. They constitute the first post-war collection of studies centred on Lully and form a fitting tribute to Professor Anthony whose own French baroque music provided a stimulus for the work of an emerging generation of scholars.

1694. A Practical Work with very great Study Collected out of the Ancient as well as Modern Fathers of Adept philosophy reconciled together by comparing them one with another otherwise disagreeing and in the newest method so aptly digested, that even young practitioners may be able to discern the counter fit or sophistical preparation of Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral, whether for Medicines or Metals, from True; and to avoid Vagabond Impostors and Imaginary Processes together with the Ruin of Estates. When this book was first published, Rosicrucian lodges immediately bought up all copies. Why? Because the book told too much! Now it can be yours in this first ever reprint. The book has been underlined in some places.
