"My PhD thesis, Alchemical Iconography as a Mediator of Knowledge: Visualising Science in European Alchemical Manuscripts of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries, focuses on analysing and conceptualising alchemical scientific schemes and allegorical images from European treatises, mainly German and English, including 15th-century works such as Ripley’s Scroll, Buch der Heiligen Dreifaltigkeit, and Aurora consurgens, as well as 16th-century treatises like the Rosarium philosophorum, Crowning of Nature, and others."

Searching for the Cosmic Quintessence: How Alchemists Meditated in the Middle Ages and Renaissance Dennis William Hauck, Ph.D.
"The meditative techniques practiced by alchemists in the Middle Ages were different from what we think of as meditation today. Alchemical meditation was an active instead of a passive activity, and it focused on harnessing spiritual forces for positive transformation and specific manifestations. The alchemists sought to actually work with the transcendental powers during meditation to achieve union with the divine mind or somehow bring the transformative powers from Above directly into their practical work in the lab or their personal work in the inner laboratory of their souls."

Jonathan Paul Marshall
[revised and unabridged version of a conference paper published in Geoffrey Samuel, (ed.) Western Science and Its Alternatives, University of Newcastle Department of Sociology and Anthropology Occasional Papers Series, 1995]
"Alchemy was one of the dominant modes of world description and experimentation in Europe for a period of at least 300 years, yet within a 20-30 year period it lay publicly abandoned. At the secret heart of the so-called scientific revolution pursued by Robert Boyle, John Locke and Isaac Newton, it lay publicly dismissed and abandoned, the pursuit of fools and lunatics alone. What happened?"

| Fantastic Herbals and Where to Find Them |

"A collection of 38 herbal manuscripts have remained all but hidden to scholars in the shadow of the Italian Alps. Despite several texts analyzing specific texts (Leporace, 1952, Lupo 1982, Ragazzini 1983, Toresella 1985, Pezzella 2007 and Bruzzone 2015, 2019) and one pioneering work which synthesizes a large portion of them as united in the corpus (Segre 2000), the “alchemical herbal tradition” has so far escaped examination through methodologies employed in the history of science, medicine and magic.'

| Zosimos of Panopolis - Joshua Werrett |

"For Zosimos the alchemist (c.4th C. AD), it seems that the whole of alchemy depended upon the kairos – the opportune moment, determined via katarchic astrology, when an experiment would succeed. In fact, Zosimos refers to alchemical transformations as kairikai katabaphai – colour changes achieved at the kairos – and states that they are «subject to lunar influence and the passing of time» (The Visions 10.12). This paper explores Zosimos’ understanding of kairos and its importance in his alchemical practice."
