  Ung petit traicte de Alkimie
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-24-2023, 01:22 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - Replies (1)

Paradis, Paul Canossa, called. Ce livre contient ung petit traicte de Alkimie tourné de langue hebraique en langue françoyse. Manuscript on vellum. [Paris, before 1540]

A compilation of seventy-three recipes of practical alchemy, preceded by an explication of the terms used, and an indication of the days and the planets attributed to specific metals. Its author (d. 1549) was descended from an important Jewish family of Venice, the Meshulam (known as “Dal Banco”). He had converted to Catholicism and travelled to France, where he joined a sister, Françoise, at the court of the Queen of Navarre, Marguerite d’Angoulême, becoming her tutor in Greek and Hebrew, then in October 1530 professor of Hebrew at the Collège de France. He assumed the name “Paradis” about 1533 and was naturalized in 1537.

The manuscript was written for the soldier and stateman Anne de Montmorency (1493–1567), appointed by François I in 1538 Constable of France.

  Arabic learning in the work of Geoffrey Chaucer
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-24-2023, 11:02 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

This thesis examines the influence of Arabic learning, in Latin translations, on Chaucer’s oeuvre. Chapter Four concentrates on the technical transmission of Arabic alchemical sources in the Canon’s Yeoman’s Tale, which act as a metaphor for fin’ amors.

  Video: Alchemical Worlds
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-22-2023, 12:46 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Alchemical Worlds: Reflections connects undeciphered ancient alchemical mirroring and symmetry compositions with climate science research on coral and trees. The repeat pattern on Ahimsa or peace silk features the Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) and brain coral (Diploria labyrinthiformis) – the oldest known living species on earth, close to 5,000 years. These ‘bioarchivists’ are significant non-human living entities that hold long-term climate data beyond human records."
