This intricate diagram, labeled 'Figura III', serves as a visual map of the alchemical universe, linking the macrocosm of the heavens to the microcosm of the human body. Through a sophisticated arrangement of geometric forms and symbolic figures, it illustrates the 'Rebis'—the hermaphroditic union of opposites—as the key to achieving the Philosopher's Stone and divine wisdom.

This intricate circular diagram, labeled 'Figura II', is a cornerstone of Heinrich Khunrath's theosophical and alchemical philosophy. It maps the path to divine wisdom through a synthesis of Christian mysticism and Hermetic thought, centering on the transformation of the soul. The detailed engraving features concentric rings of philosophical concepts surrounding a central square that depicts the heart and the word of God as the core of spiritual enlightenment.
