Carl Gustav Jung studied Mutus Liber, and owned a copy of the 1677 edition. He used it namely to illustrate his work entitled Psychology and Alchemy.JUNG, Carl-Gustav, Psychologie et Alchimie, Buchet/Chastel, 1970, p. 756 In this book Jung explains how alchemy is speculative thinking looking for the spiritual equilibrium whose metaphorical form would be the philosopher's stone. This process is accompanied by the creation of a repertoire of mental pictures, or archetypes, which would gradually lead to a collective unconscious. More recently Lee Stavenhagen worked on the narrative structure used to illustrate Mutus Liber.Stavenhagen, Lee, "Narrative Illustration Techniques and the Mute Books of Alchemy", Explorations in Renaissance Culture, vol. 5, issue 1 (December 1979), 56–69. . In their research Jean Flouret and Patrick Sembel have been trying to define the contents of Mutus Liber by putting it into its religious, intellectual and scientific context.
