  Jabir ibn Hayyan's Kitab al-Ahjar ‘ala Ra'y Balinas
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-29-2023, 03:50 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Some fifty years ago, the German scholar Paul Kraus declared that the well-known
corpus of Arabic alchemical writings traditionally attributed to Jabir ibn Hayyan was not
written by a single author. Kraus concluded that these writings, with the possible exception
of one treatise, were collectively produced by several generations of Qaimatf-IsmaTlI
authors who lived no earlier than the latter half of the 9th century AD. Kraus' conclusions,
already a scholarly orthodoxy, are reexamined by the present thesis."

  Alchemy and Exemplary Narrative in Middle English Poetry
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-29-2023, 03:44 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - Replies (1)

Thesis by CT Runstedler, Durham Univ.

"This thesis examines the role of alchemy in Middle English poetry from fourteenth- and
fifteenth-century England, particularly how these poems present themselves as exemplary
narratives to raise moral points about human behaviour, fallibility, and alchemical
experimentation."

  Interpreting alchemy through contemporary jewellery
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-29-2023, 03:41 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"This is a practiced based enquiry that concerns itself with the interpretation of the ideas of
alchemy through the creation of a range of contemporary jewellery pieces. This study consists
of both practice and theory, of which this thesis is the theoretical component. 

The alchemical dream was centred around the transmutation of matter into gold, and this
remained a central goal in a field of study that spans centuries. Alchemists researched the
improvement of matter, and themselves, through formulating theories and applying this in
practice. However, the term, alchemy, is difficult to define. Alchemy can be interpreted in
several ways, such as pre chemistry, a philosophy of nature or an interpretation of analytical
psychology. This depends on the perspective from which it is viewed, be it positivistic,
postmodern or anthropological, making it a term that could be seen to have multiple meanings
or interpretations."


Thesis by Ronel Jordaan.

  An Alchemical Mass
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-29-2023, 09:26 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"An Alchemical Mass - Processus sub forma missae - narration with Gregorian chants - Alchemy text. This is an interesting alchemical text, by Melchior Cibinensis, in which an alchemical process is pictured in the form of the Mass. Melchior Cibinensis was a Hungarian alchemical writer active in the first part of the 16th century. He is known for the Processus sub forma missae, an alchemical mass, now dated to around 1525; it was published in the Theatrum Chemicum of 1602, and formed part of a celebrated later collection Symbola Aureae Mensae from 1617 of Michael Maier."
