THE IMAGE AND IDENTITY OF THE ALCHEMIST IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY NETHERLANDISH ART

Dana Kelly-Ann Rehn


"This dissertation explores the representation of the alchemist in Netherlandish art during the heyday of alchemy in seventeenth-century Europe amidst the
Scientific Revolution. While contemporary debates regarding the position that alchemy and magic in general had on the development of modern science has held
particular interest for scholars working in the discipline of the history of science, the rich iconographic tradition of the alchemist in seventeenth-century Netherlandish
painting has not been explored in detail from a wider socio-cultural perspective. It is for this reason that the image and identity of the alchemist is analysed in selected
seventeenth-century Netherlandish paintings in order to not only explore their position within the Scientific Revolution, but also to shed light on their meaning and function
within the socio-cultural context of the Golden Age in the Netherlands."

The Coherence of the Arabic-Latin Translation Program in Toledo in the Twelfth Century

Charles Burnett, Warburg Institute


"This article reassesses the reasons why Toledo achieved prominence as a center for Arabic-Latin translation in the second half of the twelfth century, and suggests that the two principal translators, Gerard of Cremona and Dominicus Gundissalinus, concentrated on different areas of knowledge. Moreover, Gerard appears to have followed a clear program in the works that he translated. This is revealed especially in the Vita and the “commemoration of his books” drawn up by his students after his death. A new edition of the Vita, Commemoratio librorum and Eulogium, based on all the manuscripts, concludes the article."
