Heinrich Khunrath (1560-1605) was a German physician, hermetic philosopher, and alchemist. Framed around his commitment to Lutheran theology Khunrath developed a Christianized natural magic, seeking to find the secret prima materia that would lead man into eternal wisdom. His most famous work on alchemy is the Amphitheatrum Sapientiae Aeternae (Amphitheater of Eternal Wisdom), an alchemical classic, combining both Christianity and magic.
