The Chemical wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz by Christian Rosencreutz
Not very readable according to modern standards, but infinitely more so than many alchemical texts. If you're interested in the spiritual side of alchemy, this is one of the seminal texts.
Utopian civilization description, build around a god-awful (pardon the pun) monastery build like a fortress. Boring as hell (oops there i go again ;) ).
A blend of Stunning alchemical symbolism, unpredictable twists and turns in the story-line, built in puzzles, and spiritual catharsis. An allegorical tale that takes pondering to unpack the lessons inside. I really enjoyed it. The translation by Joscelyn Godwin is great. I will definitely revisit this one again.
