Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The text presents water as the deepest and most fundamental principle of nature, theology, and alchemy. It argues that water is not merely an ordinary element but the prima materia from which the world and all creatures arose. Drawing on Genesis, John 1, Psalms, Cabala, and Hermetic philosop…hy, it describes water as originating from the breath, speech, and will of God, a vaporous and fiery essence that condensed, putrefied, and became the chaotic matrix out of which Heaven, Earth, and all living things were formedA central theme is that water exists in multiple modes. The text distinguishes especially between the water above the firmament and the water below it. The upper water is subtle, fiery, luminous, and divine; the lower is coarse, earthy, phlegmatic, and generative of material things. Together they explain both cosmic creation and the hidden workings of nature. Water is said to be the mother of earth, the seed of minerals, plants, animals, and even the operative force behind growth, decay, and regeneration. Its role in putrefaction is crucial: corruption is not merely destruction, but the necessary precondition for transformation and new life.The treatise also gives a highly symbolic account of water through lines, rays, triangles, and numerical figures, reading these as signatures of divine realities. Water is associated with the Trinity, with grace, with celestial and subterranean forces, and with the union of opposites: upper and lower, fiery and moist, solar and lunar, spirit and matter. In this framework, the philosophers' water becomes identical with the Azoth, Mercury, fiery water, and ultimately the hidden basis of the Philosophers' Stone.The latter part of the text turns to the river of Eden and the four rivers-Pison, Gihon, Hidekel, and Euphrates-interpreting them both geographically and alchemically. These rivers symbolize stages or forms of the hidden water, including precious gold, bdellium, onyx, blackness, tincture, and reunion of divided principles. Overall, the work treats water as a divine, cosmic, material, and spiritual mystery: humble in appearance, yet the key to creation, preservation, purification, wisdom, and redemption.
