"Discorso sopra la Chimica is an early seventeenth-century manuscript on alchemy written by the Florentine priest Antonio Neri, best known as the author of the first published treatise on glassmaking – L’Arte Vetraria (1612) – which was widely read for centuries. The Discorso shows a different face of Neri, that of the alchemist with a profound knowledge of Paraselsian doctrine... In this paper I discuss Antonio Neri and the background to his important work, reflecting on its impact and what it tells us about a fascinating and complex period in the birth of modern science. This is followed by a translation of the complete text of Discorso sopra la Chimica."

By Emmanuel Le Bouter
"The purpose of this article is to try to shed some light on an aspect of the alchemical work, which at first seems very complex: the concept of the two marriages. A personal definition of the most important terms in alchemy, which are necessary to understand the article, is first given. Then, the two alchemical marriages are covered in a systematical manner, putting in parallel the notions of laboratory and oratory."

by Andraž Žvab,
"In the following article I present the late-renaissance and baroque alchemy in Habsburg territories, particularly in the Duchy of Carniola. Beside the introductory chapters the main part of the article deals with alchemy in the Duchy of Carniola. Among included topics are: late renaissance and early baroque alchemists in Ljubljana; association of alchemy with the quicksilver mine in Idrija; the mysterious Strmol castle and its owners, nearly all eager alchemists; alchemical endeavours of Johannes Friedrich von Rain and his contemporaries; and finally, the occult and alchemical interests of Freiherr Johann Weichardt von Valvasor."
