Thomas Vaughan, Magia adamica.
London, Humphrey Blunden, 1650

The English Rosicrucian Thomas Vaughan (1622-1666) elaborately recounted the myth of Flamel and the Book of Abraham the Jew in his Magia adamica: or the antiquity of magic. Vaughan claimed in Magia adamica that 'Magic is nothing else but the Wisdom of the Creator revealed and planted in the Creature' (p. 1).
