Abstract

The second volume contains a guide to the books on display, with technical data sheets (including this one) and explanations on their philosophical and intellectual value. Among the exhibits, 34 manuscripts and 72 printed works, most of them from the Marciana National Library in Venice and the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica in Amsterdam.
