An alchemical furnace from the Nordic Museum’s collections is one of few remaining artifacts from the 18th century alchemist and mineralogist August Nordenskiöld. Employed to produce gold for Swedish king Gustav III, Nordenskiöld had a subversive counter-agenda of making the secret of alchemy open to all, and thereby ending the ”tyranny of money”.

Goldin+Senneby have produced an instruction manual, offering collectors a license to reproduce the 18th century alchemical furnace that belonged to August Nordenskiöld. The replica instruction manual exists in a numbered but unlimited edition, where the price increases for each edition sold; making it increasingly expensive to decrease the rarity of the artwork.

The alchemical furnace was first copied during a solo exhibition at Crystal, Stockholm (2012), including a magic performance at Drottningholm Castle Theatre. The replica instruction manual was first presented at Frieze NY the same year. Manual ed 3 is in the collection of Centre Pompidou, Paris, since 2016.

Adam, I'm sure the images from Darmstadt which you posted the other day are linked to Gustav III of Sweden, who employed Nordenskiöld. Gustav is mentioned in the notes after the images.

An illustration from the Arcana divina, MS 88 in the Beinecke Library, Yale, shows the use of sunlight to heat or transform material in alchemical flasks.

   

If you have $239,239.96 to spare then you might like to invest in a copy of Domenico Beccafumi's La ricerca e lo sfruttamento dei metalli.

'The series begins with the gods observing the alchemist in his laboratory, proceeds via an initial meeting, to the gods alarm at possible capture and, perhaps, the intended use to be made of them and their properties, their capture and enchainment by the alchemist and, finally, the gods being lead to the anvil. The alchemist s assistant, most likely symbolic of Vulcan, does the work, while the alchemist in pensive mode, looks on as director, scholar and philosopher. The second group of five plates, while appearing to be simpler, at least in thematic terms, is made more complicated by having no clear pictorial conclusion.'

I have not seen this manuscript before. It seems to be from the  18th century and incorporates alchemical imagery within a Freemasonic context.

I have no idea about the legal status of this posting by Priscilla Martinelli.

Abstract: This paper defines the nature and extent of transmutation theory in the Greek alchemical corpus as found in the texts attributed to Zosimus of Panopolis, “the philosopher Synesius,” and “the philosopher Olympiodorus of Alexandria.” By transmutation theory, I understand all explicit attempts made by Greek alchemical writers to explain how one substance can be entirely transformed into another.

Aaron Kitch situates the Ripley scrolls in the context of English alchemy in the sixteenth century, especially the tradition of emblematic alchemy and John Dee’s efforts to establish George Ripley as England’s chief alchemical authority. He analyzes the pattern of imagery on the scrolls in relation to the ancient and early modern philosophy of generation, which focused on questions about sexual reproduction and the emergence of new matter in nature.
