House of Light

Vaughan, Thomas. Aula lucis, or the house of light. A discourse written in the year... 

The mystical branch of alchemy produced countless allegories of spiritual development. Predating John Bunyan by fifty years or so, is the remarkable The Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of the Heart by JA Comenius. In this, the narrator is led through an endless city where he witnesses all forms of human folly. In the end, he is saved only by his faith in God. In addition to Comenius, there are countless shorter works, such as Thomas Vaughan s House of Light andTommasso de Campanella s City of the Sun.
