Matter, Spirit, and Cosmogony: The Context and Meaning of Thomas Vaughan’s Alchemical Vitalism

Adam Heinrich Borrego

University of Missouri-St. Louis


"This study focuses on one of the alchemists of the seventeenth century, the Englishman Thomas Vaughan, showing how his alchemical writings detail, in the religious and
philosophical language of early modern alchemy, the alchemical vitalist conception of matter, and that these works therefore constitute an alchemical natural philosophy."

Thesis (Bristol)

By Anna S T Leendertz-Ford

"It is claimed that alchemy and alchemists/early modern chymists contributed substantially to proto-chemistry in important ways. To a significant degree, sound science was being practised in the Latin West during the seventeenth century, though not all criteria were met consistently across all nations at all times. This thesis will:
(1)Define the criteria for best practice of science (specifically chemistry) using a Wittgensteinian approach;
(2)Examine the level to which such criteria were appreciated and adhered to across a representative sample of chemical practices during the seventeenth century."

"Experimentation does not seem restricted to technical operations: these writings are themselves experiments that result in elaborate and inventive compositions. I investigate in detail what this shift to a literary interpretation entails for four early alchemical works, namely the Letter from Isis to Horus (Chapter I), the Dialogue of the Philosophers and Cleopatra (Chapter II), On the Letter Omega by Zosimus of Panopolis (Chapter III), and Memoirs 10-12 by the same author (Chapter IV). Each chapter starts with a brief introduction to the work’s dating, transmission, and contents, followed by an analysis of how each writing in question approaches conventional textual forms in both expected and unexpected ways."

"This thesis aims at clarifying how alchemists and non-alchemists studied and discussed alchemy in medieval Islam. In order to attain this objective, we first review and reinterpret the accomplishments of Muslim and pre-Islamic alchemists, as well as multiple types of classification of alchemy by non-alchemist authors. Also, we examine in detail non-alchemists’ theoretical discussions of alchemy, which had a large influence on the development of alchemy in medieval Islam, as well as discussions by alchemists. Finally, in order to clarify both stances, we investigate al-Ṭughrāʾī’s Ḥaqāʾiq al-istishhād, which compares alchemists’ theoretical foundation concerning alchemical theories with that of non-alchemists."

"Studies of Thomas Vaughan ( 1621-1666) have previously examined areas o f syntactic convergence with his brother Henry Vaughan’s poetry. This dissertation explores the stylistic characteristics of Thomas Vaughan’s tracts in their own right. Internal and external textual evidence indicates the importance of the Polish natural philosopher Sendivogius ( 1566-1646) to Vaughan’s epistemology."
