"We present the second coin in ‘The Alchemists’ series – a collectible silver coin called ‘Dr. J. Dee – Ars Speculum’. The coin continues the series dedicated to remembering and honouring the famous and historically significant alchemists who sought ways to turn base metals into gold. The new coin is dedicated to a famous 16th century alchemist, astronomer, mathematician, and advisor to Queen Elizabeth I – Dr. John Dee."

"Alchemical imagery and ideology is present in many Romantic works of literature, but it has largely been overlooked by literary historians in their
contextualization of the time period. The same can be said for mysticism in general, of which alchemy is a subset. This project accounts for alchemy in the works of
transcendental philosophers and writers as it contributes to some of the most important conversations of the Romantic time period, particularly the reaction against empirical philosophy and the articulation of creative processes."

"This dissertation examines how scholars in eleventh-century Constantinople and Antioch (under Byzantine rule, 969-1084) understood matter and its transformation. It argues that matter, a concept inherited from ancient philosophy, continued to be a fertile and malleable idea-complex endowed with cultural and religious meaning in medieval thought-worlds of the Eastern Mediterranean."

"This dissertation investigates the influence of vitalist matter theories and the practical, operational techniques of alchemy on agricultural improvement projects in seventeenth-century England. It argues that the historical territory of alchemy is much broader than many historians of this subject have conceded over the past generation."

"This study examines the themes of alchemy and transformation in Paradise Lost and seventeenth-century thought. Beginning with an overview of the historical roots of alchemy, this study analyzes the ancient, underlying philosophical concepts that marital union produces the birth of the soul and that destruction is necessary for this birth. Alchemical references identified in Paradise Lost include animal lore and direct alchemical images, which demonstrate Milton’s knowledge of alchemy and his deliberate use of the alchemical metaphor. These themes support the proposal that Milton, a Christian humanist, uses alchemy as a metaphor described in this study as “divine alchemy,” which begins with his belief that Christians, inheriting original sin, must submit themselves to a transformative process similar to transmutation to restore right reason and, ultimately, achieve salvation."
