"In a reprint from Osiris (2, 220; 1936), W. J. Wilson, of the Library of Congress, Washington, deals with a treatise copied by Arnaldus de Bruxella at Naples between 1473 and 1490, arid purchased by Lehigh University, Pennsylvania, in 1881 for the price of ten dollars. It is a compendium of chemical and alchemical recipes of a type fairly well known through other manuscripts of similar date in Paris and elsewhere."

"An explosion of printed books and treatises on medicine in sixteenth-century Europe inspired new intense debates about medicine and its relation to the divine order of nature. Both trained and untrained healers engaged in close observation of the natural world, but good doctors did not rely solely on empirical observation—they also took into consideration invisible forces such as the soul."

"Richardus Anglicus the alchemist wrote several texts in the 14th century, including Correctorium alchemiae, also known as Corrector (fatuorum). He was considered among the leading English alchemists of the period. Texts attributed to him were printed in De Alchemia (1541, 1550) and in Theatrum Chemicum (1602–1661). He was well read in the alchemical literature through the 14th century and stands in that tradition, including concerns with the materia prima."

"The Gemini Seal Pendant draws from the intricate instructions of a 17th-century alchemical manuscript, where its creation was described in extraordinary detail. Traditionally, this sigil was to be forged from a blend of gold and silver, metals carefully melted together at the precise moment when the Sun enters Gemini, typically around the 10th or 11th of May."

"Myth in Alchemy: From Homer to the Chymical Gods: A Four-Week Live, Online Course with Alchemist Brian Cotnoir, Begins April 7."

"Throughout the practice of western alchemy, myths, the stories of the gods and goddesses, were used to explain the forces at work in alchemical transmutation. It was thought that these stories cloaked deeper meanings that would, if understood properly, reveal the way forward in the work of perfecting matter and the soul.

Of interest are the sources of myth used by renaissance artists like Durer and alchemists like Maier in their depictions of the dieties. We will look at texts such as Boccaccio's Genealogy of the Pagan Gods, Cartari's Images of the Pagan Gods, and the work that started the Emblem Books, The Hieroglyphics of Horapollo.

This will prepare us to better understand the 50 emblems in Michael Maier's Atalanta Fugiens a most remarkable alchemical text of image, music, and poetry in the service of alchemical transmutation.

This four-part course will examine the use of myth, its origins and development into a symbolic language of alchemy and will trace a few examples of myth and show how it is interpreted as not just a metaphor but as an actual physical process."
