The Paris Splendor Solis ("Splendor of the Sun") is an elaborately decorated alchemical treatise, based on the work of Salomón Trismosin and with input by Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, who had a deep interest in alchemy and astrology. The twenty-one full-page miniatures, all with full borders, seem to draw connections between nature and alchemy. The illumination of a crowned king within a flask bears the date of 1577 (fol. 29v). The exact place of production is unknown.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.
