This text is an analysis of the hermetic bas-reliefs on the Amiens Cathedral, arguing that many of the seemingly religious sculptures are actually alchemical allegories. The author interprets various figures and symbols, such as the "fire of the wheel," the "cock and the fox," and the "philosophers' dew," to represent specific alchemical processes and materials. The analysis contrasts interpretations by earlier scholars, offering alternative readings grounded in alchemical symbolism and practice. Comparisons are drawn to similar imagery at other cathedrals, particularly Notre Dame in Paris. The overall purpose is to reveal the hidden alchemical meaning embedded within the cathedral's artistic decorations.
