Abstract
The first printed text of German alchemy, Rosarium Philosophorum (published in 1550, but written one to two centuries earlier) has an account of the incestuous union of a brother and sister named Gabricus and Beya. In the alchemical allegory, they represent body and spirit, respectively, and their union produces the soul that holds them together.
