Daniel Stolz von Stolzenberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daniel Stolz von Stolzenberg (Daniel Stolcius) (1600-1660) was a Bohemian physician and writer on alchemy, a pupil of Michael Maier in Prague. [2] His name is often given as 'von Stolcenberg', i.e. from Stolzenberg, or 'von Stolcenbeerg'.
He is known for his 1624 emblem book Viridarium Chymicum[1], a significant anthology[3] with sources in previous collections.[2][3] It was followed in 1627 by the Hortulus Hermeticus[4][5].
