From the early 17th century Hermetic Garden

Daniel Stolz von Stolzenberg (Daniel Stolcius) (1600–1660) was a Bohemian physician and writer on alchemy, a pupil of Michael Maier in Prague. His name is often given as 'von Stolcenberg', i.e. from Stolzenberg, or 'von Stolcenbeerg'.

He is known for his 1624 emblem book Viridarium Chymicum,[1] a significant anthology with sources in previous collections.[2][3] It was followed in 1627 by the Hortulus Hermeticus.[4][5]
