Alchemical Symbolism in the VMS

[bi3mw]

Nothing obviously VMS-compatible, though.

By the way, I also look for such parallels in more recent works. This can be legitimate, since often motifs from older works were simply taken over. This does not have to apply only to "standard works". There, however, this tradition can be easily proven, since both copies are still available.
An example: Mellon MS 110 was produced around 1760, the Aurora Consurgens dates back to the 15th century. Looking at the illustrations, it is easy to see that some of them were simply transferred, despite the very long period of time between them. The motifs are identical. It is therefore quite conceivable that in many later alchemical works (which are not so well known) there is also a "reverberation" on older works.
