«El misterio de las catedrales» is Fulcanelli's esoteric essay, published by Plaza & Janés in 1993, in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Fulcanelli analyzes the alchemical and hermetic symbolism of Gothic architecture, sculptures and stained glass, and argues that medieval cathedrals guard secret knowledge of the builders, linked to the Great Work and the philosopher's stone. A masterpiece of hermeticism according to its own cover, it invites readers to view these monuments as a coded book of stone, with keys for initiates.
Work originally published in 1926 and recovered in this Spanish edition within the Tribuna Collection (no. 110). ISBN 9788401451058; 208 pages.
Recommended for readers of esotericism, alchemy and symbolism, as well as for those wishing to delve into the hidden reading of medieval art.
Fulcanelli was the name used by a French alchemist and esoteric writer, whose identity is still debated. The name Fulcanelli seems to be a play on words: Vulcan, the ancient Roman god of fire, plus El, a Canaanite name for God and so the Sacred Fire.
