I would like to amass a collection of books written by or about magicians/alchemists/sorcerers of antiquity, the Middle ages and even into the Renaissance..or general works of mysticism/esoterica from no particular region. Any suggestions for me?

The Secret History of the world by Jonathan Black is also really good.

Manly P. Hall is ultimate. Frances Yates has a lot of good books (including one about Giordano Bruno). The Kybalion.

PSU’s Magic in History series has a number of excellent titles; also check out Ficino, Mirandola & Giordano Bruno.

*JUST symbols. Huysmans La Bas is a novel but he discusses Medieval black magic, also interesting.

dustoncrowns answered:
titus brukhardt’s book on alchemy is a good one, being a traditionalist instead of just claiming them all to be symbols
