From the early 17th century Hermetic Garden
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]
