Illustration of an angel found in Aurora consurgens

The Aurora consurgens is an alchemical treatise of the 15th century famous for the rich illuminations that accompany it in some manuscripts.[1][2]: §38–44  While in the last century, the text has been more commonly referred to as "Pseudo-Aquinas", there are as well arguments in favour of Thomas Aquinas,[2]: §591f., §616  to whom it has originally been attributed in some manuscripts. The translated title from Latin into English is "Rising dawn."
