Athenasius Kircher's Images

 

Arca Noe

1675



Athanasius Kircher, Arcanae; printed in Amsterdam in 1675 - a delightfully imaginative book, suitable for children. The dedicatee, Charles II of Spain was himself only 12 at the time. The folding plate with flurry of bird and processions of creatures is typical of the high standard of imagery within all of Kircher's esoteric books.
