Martin Ruland the Elder (1532, in Freising ? 3 February 1602), also known as Martinus Rulandus or Martin Rulandt, was a German physician, alchemist and classical philologist. He was a follower of the physician Paracelsus. A lexicon of alchemy written by his son Ruland the Younger was often attributed to Ruland the Elder. Ruland's 1612 Lexicon alchemiae ('Dictionary of Alchemy') is cited by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung in his writings on alchemy. Ceremonial magician Arthur Waite translated the book into the English language. From the personal library collection of Brian Cotnoir, alchemist, artist and award-winning filmmaker. Author of Practical Alchemy: Guide to the Great Work, The Emerald Tablet, a series of Alchemical ?Zines, Alchemical Meditations, Alchemy: The Poetry of Matter and most recently On Alchemy: Essential Practices and Making Art as Alchemy. He has presented seminars and workshops around the world on various aspects of the alchemy. Khepri Press was started in 2014 as a place to organize and distribute his work. It is a very small press dedicated to alchemical book arts. Some of this work is publishable and others may exist only in manuscript or object form ? alchemical results or talismans.

Very good. Stabilized on archival tissue. Size 16 x 29.25 Inches. A rare 1911 Arthur J. Elder / Littig bird's-eye view map of the University of Kentucky - here in its first edition. This view is in the style of the more famous contemporaneous university viewmaker Richard Rummell and was published by Littig, also Rummell's publisher. It is one of only 4 known university views drawn by Elder. A Closer Look The view looks south on the University of Kentucky from a high point above the intersection of Administration Drive and South Limestone, suggesting the view was likely drawn from a balloon at about 300 feet in elevation. The Main Building is presented at center. Opened in 1882, this is the only surviving building of the university's four original structures. To the immediate right of the Main Building is UK's second oldest building, the Ezra Gillis Building, long known as the Chemistry Building. To the left is Barker Hall (1901), originally known as the Alumni Building, the later as the Old Gymnasium, and which today houses the school's Army and Air Force ROTC programs. Another recognizable building, Miller Hall (1898), originally known as Science Hall, appears just behind the Main Building. At the far left, the school's first athletic field is evident - this area is not a parking lot. Rummell or Elder? Such university views are more commonly associated with the landscape artist Richard Rummell, who produced dozens for Littig. The views were based on watercolors uniformly drawn from an altitude of about 300 feet, suggesting a hot-air balloon. From these watercolors, copperplates were engraved, and a limited number of engravings were issued. Until discovering this view, we assumed that all similar views were by Rummell, but it seems that the views were in such demand that Littig hired other artists to sketch schools in different parts of the country. We know Elder produced at least 4 views, but possibly more. University of Kentucky The University of Kentucky (UK), located in Lexington, Kentucky, was founded in 1865 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky. It was part of the Morrill Land-Grant Act, passed by Congress to promote education in agriculture, engineering, and mechanical arts. Originally affiliated with Kentucky University (Transylvania University), it became a separate institution in 1878. UK has since become a major research center focusing on medicine, engineering, and agriculture. Publication History and Census This view was drawn by Arthur J. Elder and published in 1911 by W. T. Litting and Company. We note at least two variants: the present example, which is almost certainly the first edition, and a second that has additional text below the main map. Scarce.
