  Gualdi & Bonacina: Alchemical Miscellany
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - Yesterday, 02:46 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

Two diverse cryptic alchemies written by one copyist and linked by two series of alchemical emblems. The first text, Philosophia hermetica, in Italian verse, is linked to Federicl Gualdi. The second text, Compendiolum de praeparatione auri potabilis veri, is attributed to M[arcus] E[ugenius] Bonacina.

The Bonacina is available in English in Adam's Magnum Opus series:

  Animals in Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - Yesterday, 02:42 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Animals have always played a fascinating role in stories and traditions, but in alchemy, they take on a whole new meaning. You’ll find creatures like lions, snakes, and birds popping up in alchemical texts, each carrying deep symbolic messages. These animals aren’t just decorations—they represent complex ideas about transformation, power, and the mysteries of nature."

  Movie Director: Jan Švankmajer
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - Yesterday, 02:18 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"The alchemical and kabbalistic history of Prague is an undoubted inspiration for him, and his work builds on these sources and combines it with surrealism. Surrealism and Mannerism, which are anchored in the duality of opposites - rationalism with the irrational, sensualism with spiritualism, tradition with innovation, convention with revolt - create the necessary tension for creative activity. In his view, Surrealism represents a contemporary form of Romanticism that restores art to its magical dignity."
