The
Mysterium Lectures
by Edward Edinger
This book, comprised of lectures Edinger gave, is an indispensable guide
for those folks wanting to wade through Jung's Mysterium Coniunctionis
(which is listed further down below). All I know is that it would have
been very nice to have access to this detailed travel companion the first
time I attempted take the trip through Jung's fascinating book. It's,
however, not (absolutely) necessary to have and/or read Jung's Mysterium
Coniunctionis in order to receive benefit from Edinger's book.

Transformation
of the Psyche: The Symbolic Alchemy of the Splendor Solis
by Joseph L. Henderson and Dyane N. Sherwood
Joseph L. Henderson... need I say more? Transformation of the Psyche
is organized around 22 illuminated paintings from the early Renaissance
alchemical manuscript the Splendor Solis, and is further illustrated
by over 50 color figures. This book is the first scholarly study of the
Splendor Solis paintings in their entirety, and of the mythological
and historical allusions contained within the images. The book is a wee
bit expensive, but it's evident the publishers spent some serious bucks
in producing this book. I could of course be wrong, but believe the publishers
(Brunner-Routledge) primarily produced this book out of love for the subject
and will likely never break even on costs, let alone make a profit. Jungian
folks interested in alchemy (and in particular interested in the Splendor
Solis images) will definitely not be disappointed in the quality
and content of this book.
