  Starkey's Alchemical Laboratory Notebooks
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-07-2024, 09:39 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"George Starkey—chymistry tutor to Robert Boyle, author of immensely popular alchemical treatises, and probably early America's most important scientist—reveals in these pages the daily laboratory experimentation of a seventeenth-century alchemist.The editors present in this volume transcriptions of Starkey's texts, their translations, and valuable commentary for the modern reader. Dispelling the myth that alchemy was an irrational enterprise, this remarkable collection of laboratory notebooks and correspondence reveals the otherwise hidden methodologies of one of the seventeenth century's most influential alchemists."

  From Alchemist to Counterfeiter: Glazier Wheeler
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-07-2024, 09:15 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The year was 1789 when an old man shoveled dirt onto two hefty barrels of silver, hidden away in a cave on the roaring banks of the Swift River in Massachusetts. He needed to bury his treasure, because he had procured it by means that were considered illegal and, at one point, mystical. This old man was Glazier Wheeler, once a blacksmith and engraver, but the town of Dana knew him as 'the alchemist'."

  The Last Sorcerers: Alchemy to the Periodic Table
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-07-2024, 09:11 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"They started with four: earth, air, fire, and water. From these basics, they sought to understand the essential ingredients of the world. Those who could see further, those who understood that the four were just the beginning, were the last sorcerers – and the world's first chemists."

  Jo Herlihy - Alchemy: A Search for Truth
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-06-2024, 05:27 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"From the early days of the Roman Empire through to the early 1700s, why did some of the most creative minds turn to alchemy? The search for how to make gold through this experimental practice will have been, without doubt, very alluring. But what else did people hope to discover? This is the story of the people, the books, the controversies and the dangers surrounding the secretive art of alchemy and the search for truth explored through the history of ideas, philosophy and religion. What emerges is a surprising story about the many inter-weaving influences, heresies and orthodoxies that shaped Western Philosophy and Science."

  Voynich paper by Jessica Scott
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-06-2024, 12:36 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"The following paper reveals that the Voynich Manuscript is a Latin celestial herbal book of hours to treat ailments according to an individual's birth chart and zodiac sign. It describes that the Son of God provides treatments through ordinary garden plants' flowers and seeds. It contains two lists. One for instructions and one to list the main sources of these treatments. Additionally, it mentions two important monastic tenants and Christian commandments of being stewards to the earth and its plants and animals. The plant on folio 65r is identified."
