Atalanta in flight) is a compendium of illustrated alchemical literature by Michael Maier (1568-1622) a German physician, alchemist, writer, and composer. It was first published in Latin in Oppenheim in 1617. The theme of the work is the Greek myth of Atalanta, a virgin huntress who agreed to marry only if her suitors could outrun her. It consists of 50 illustrations, each of which is accompanied by an epigram on the myth, a discourse and a musical fugue. The origins of the present French translation of the manuscript - which does not include the fugues - are unknown. It is presently held by the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Palatino Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1507855540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781507855546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Palatino Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986906939647,"sku":"9781507855546","price":21.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0564e1e8-cd66-4749-a96f-8a1097f16513.jpg?v=1683285865","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/atalanta-fugiens-palatino-press-9781507855546","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
