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.
