  Search Engine for Open Source images
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-04-2023, 10:13 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

Openverse is a tool that allows openly licensed and public domain works to be discovered and used by everyone.

Openverse searches across more than 700 million images and audio from open APIs and the Common Crawl dataset. It goes beyond simple search to aggregate results across multiple public repositories into a single catalog, and facilitates reuse through features like machine-generated tags and one-click attribution.

Currently Openverse only searches images and audio, with search for video provided through External Sources. But we plan to add additional media types, such as open texts and 3D models, with the ultimate goal of providing access to the estimated 2.5 billion CC-licensed and public domain works on the web. All of our code is open source (Openverse front end, Openverse API, Openverse Catalogue) and we welcome community contribution. You can see what we’re currently working on.

  Thesis: Rituals of Apparition in the Theban Magical Library
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-03-2023, 07:30 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"This thesis examines the evidence for divinatory practices in Roman Egypt, focusing on rituals for questioning deities, and using the so-called "Theban Magical Library" as the core corpus within which this practice is examined. The first chapter examines the evidence for this archive, its publication and reception history, as well as its form and contents, in terms of physical, scribal, linguistic, and ritual features. This analysis is then used to situate the Library within the cultural context of Roman Egypt, and the historical development of Egyptian magical practice."

  Video: The Alchemy of Color and Chemical Change in Medieval Manuscripts
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-03-2023, 07:07 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Short video from the Getty:

"Some of the most vivid pigments in medieval manuscripts were manufactured through alchemy, an experimental practice that predates modern chemistry. Today, chemistry deepens our knowledge about paint colors, their identification, and potential continued transformations."

  Alchemy and Pauli's Exclusion Principle
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-01-2023, 02:34 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The intricate realms of quantum mechanics and ancient alchemy, at first glance, appear as distant from each other as the stars from the earth. Yet, within this paper titled "Alchemy and Exclusion: Symbolic Intersections between the Pauli Exclusion Principle and Alchemical Transformation," we embark on a compelling exploration, discovering profound intersections between these seemingly disparate fields."
