Daniel Stolz von Stolzenberg

Pride of Daniel Stolzenberg and Daniel Stolcius of Stolcenberg (* 1600 in Kutna Hora, † after 1644 lost) was a Bohemian astrologer, alchemist, poet and physician.

Life

Stolcius studied, among others, in Prague and Marburg. He was a student of the alchemist Michael Maier. 1623 he met in England the hermetic philosophers Robert Fludd and the alchemist and inventor Cornelius Drebbel. In Oxford Stolcius wrote the foreword to his Viridarium Chymicum, the " chemical Pleasure Garden ", which appeared in Jennis in Frankfurt in 1624 and was so successful that immediately afterwards a German translation was brought out. In his preface, he lamented the misfortunes of his native Bohemia.

A journey led him to Constantinople 1632 to Opel. 1635 he attended Comenius in Leźno, in the same time he worked at various places, including Danzig, as a doctor. After 1644 we lose track.

Work

The Viridarium Chymicum from 1624 is an alchemical emblem book, the combined 107 engravings from previously published books by Michael Maier and Johann Daniel Mylius, which added Stolcius statements in Epigrammform.

The Hortulus Hermeticus ( The Hermetic Garden ) is constructed according to the same pattern as the Chymical Pleasure Garden and was sometimes not distinguished from that due to its rarity. The book contains 160 emblems that relate to the work of a philosopher or alchemist, with Latin Verskommentaren of Stolcius.
