MONSTERS - THE MERCURIAL REBIS
An alchemical figure designed to set out in graphic form the Three Principles of Salt, Sulphur and Mercury, as these manifest and interact in the human being. The three heads each designate one of the principles (from left to right, Salt, Sulphur and Mercury). The face that protrudes from the bulbous body represents the human being, who is invested with the two attributes of heavenly and infernal flight. The wings on the boots indicate that the whole figure is designed as a commentary on Philosophical Mercury, or the Mercury of the Alchemists. The woodcut - which appeared in several guises, in a number of alchemical works - has been attributed to Paracelsus.

The 'Borus.' a name some medieval European travelers often called the Prussians. While some people thought the idea of dog faces meant they were miserable people, others said that the fact that the people had dog-like faces meant that they were very brave. This illustration, from an old manuscript, shows two 'Borus.' В© Newagen Archives / The Image Works
