"The King in Yellow is a book of short stories by American writer Robert W. Chambers, first published by F. Tennyson Neely in 1895. The British first edition was published by Chatto & Windus in 1895 (316 pages). The book contains nine short stories and a sequence of poems; while the first stories belong to the genres of supernatural horror and weird fiction, The King in Yellow progressively transitions towards a more light-hearted tone, ending with romantic stories devoid of horror or supernatural elements. The horror stories are highly esteemed, and it has been described by critics such as E. F. Bleiler, S. T. Joshi, and T. E. D. Klein as a classic in the field of the supernatural."

"Lady's Mantle, with its unusual serrated rosette-shaped leaves with nine fringes, is very reminiscent of a woman's medieval cloak. Almost completely forgotten, this magical plant, a lovely symbol of medieval women's medicine, is gaining deserved attention again today. The leaves are known for collecting dewdrops, which ancient alchemists used to try to make the mythical magic stone and the “Elixir of Youth”. Culpepper, a 17th-century English herbalist, considered it indispensable for treating women's diseases."

"This dissertation aims to establish a basis when studying the history of alchemy in medieval Islam, to make clear what is alchemists’ alchemical theory and what is not in spite of affirmative claims, to reassess understanding of alchemy among modern scholars, to explore experimentalism in alchemy and to examine al-Rāzī’s alchemy, use of experience, and the relationship between his alchemy and medicine. Through the study, the diversity in the views about alchemy throughout medieval Islam, the necessity to distinguish theories of alchemists from those of non-alchemists, and the risk of inclusion of alchemy in “occult” subjects without any condition are suggested. Regarding experimentalism, it was promising to use those existing frameworks to understand experience and experimentalism in medieval Islam. The investigation of al-Rāzī revealed his variation of the use of experiences and denial of the nature-art theory. An unstudied source attributed to al-Rāzī suggests the connection between his medicine and alchemy, which has never been found explicitly."
