"In August 2020, I purchased a copy of Ernst Rosenbohm’s 1951 publication Kölnisch Wasser (“Eau de Cologne”) from an antiquarian online bookseller near Frankfurt. The scientific literature on perfumes and Eau de Cologne that I read for my current research project on the “Olfactories of Hygiene” is rather limited, so I’m quite excited when I discover what looks like a thorough study on the topic..."

"This article presents Daoist visual representations of body and cosmos, drawing extensively on illustrations and diagrams from texts preserved in the Ming‑ dynasty Daoist Canon. To examine how the Daoist perception of body and cos‑ mos unfolded over time, I discuss images of four types: body gods, imaginary  journeys to stars, body souls/worms, and the body transformed in internal al‑ chemy—the first two in JDS 3 (2010), the next two here."

"Dr Peter Wothers gave a fascinating talk on pioneering science writer Jane Marcet at our annual alumni lecture on 11 February. Marcet’s most well-known work is Conversations on Chemistry, Intended More Especially for the Female Sex which was first published anonymously in 1805. Peter led viewers through some highlights of this early science textbook, including Marcet’s correspondence with Michael Faraday, who thought very highly of her scientific abilities. Peter showed how the book needed to be updated in a series of later editions, as more elements were discovered or renamed."

Plaisance, Christopher A. "Turris Philosophorum: On the Alchemical Iconography of the Tower." In Alchemical Traditions: From Antiquity to the Avante-Garde, 325–354, ed. Aaron Cheak. Melbourne: Numen Books, 2013.


"Throughout alchemical tracts from the fifteenth century onward, one of the more commonly employed emblems was that of the tower. At times, these towers appear to be full-sized structures surrounded by, or containing, people; at others, they appear as miniature castles set within the alchemist's laboratory. What is it that links these depictions of realistically proportioned towers with their diminutive counterparts? What is the origin of this image, and what did it symbolize? The purpose of this paper is to investigate the image of the tower as an alchemical icon — to inquire into its genesis and significance. To accomplish this, we begin with a brief overview of the history and doxography of the alchemical tradition, continue into a discussion on the importance of laboratory equipment within the context of alchemical work, focus our inquiry into the athanor furnace, and conclude with an analysis of the iconography of the tower within the context of the previous sections."
