  Very Short Film: L'Alchimiste Parafaragaramus
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-30-2024, 12:17 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"L'Alchimiste Parafaragaramus ou la Cornue infernale, released in the United States as The Mysterious Retort and in Britain as The Alchemist and the Demon, is a 1906 French silent trick film* directed by Georges Méliès.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trick_film

"In a laboratory, an alchemist is working with a large retort on a stove. After consulting a book, he falls asleep in a chair near the retort. As he sleeps, a giant snake comes out of the stove and transforms into a jester, who wakes the alchemist and forces him to look in a hand-mirror. When the alchemist does so, the retort grows much larger, the alchemist falls back to sleep, and a giant spider with a human face appears inside the retort."

  Video: Alchemical Origins of Occupational Medicine
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-26-2024, 05:02 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Worldwide nearly 3 million workers die on the job each year. U.S. workers experience roughly that same number of injuries and illnesses each year. Work is hard and dangerous, and we have the data to prove it. But who started collecting that data? The answer takes us back to Paracelsus, an early modern physician and alchemist who noticed that the miners he lived among often became very ill or died. His inquiries laid the foundation for occupational health and the workplace safety standards we have today."

  The Alchemical Laboratory in Visual and Written Sources
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-20-2024, 04:34 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - Replies (1)

"This book analyses images of alchemical laboratories, and their textual sources, as they appeared in manuscripts and printed alchemical treatises, especially during the Early Modern Period. Our study also integrates illustrations from treatises on mining and metallurgy, and seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish genre painting. In terms of methodology, our analysis works within the wider context of contemporary depictions of scientific subjects and technology. Based on a representative sample of sources, we reconstruct the basic laboratory equipment and show how the vessels and apparatus were related to particular processes. We also describe the development of depicting laboratory equipment with respect to its significance for the history of art and of technology. The final part of the book is devoted to depictions of alchemists at work, from both alchemical sources and genre painting."
