«Felipe II y el secreto del Escorial» is the historical essay by Mariano Fernández Urresti, published by Edaf in hardcover (408 pages, in Spanish).
The essay revisits the figure of Philip II between the images of the Prudent King and the Demon of the South and proposes seeing him as a new Solomon. From that key it interprets El Escorial as a new Temple of Jerusalem and relates it to the Holy Grail, alchemy, necromancers and the hermetic layout of Juan de Herrera.
The book bears the subtitle «Una biografía maldita» and belongs to the collection «Mundo mágico y heterodoxo» by Edaf.
For readers interested in the history of Spain, esotericism and religious symbolism around El Escorial and Philip II.
