  The Arabic-Latin Translation Program in Toledo in the Twelfth Centur
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-13-2023, 08:36 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - Replies (1)

The Coherence of the Arabic-Latin Translation Program in Toledo in the Twelfth Century

Charles Burnett, Warburg Institute


"This article reassesses the reasons why Toledo achieved prominence as a center for Arabic-Latin translation in the second half of the twelfth century, and suggests that the two principal translators, Gerard of Cremona and Dominicus Gundissalinus, concentrated on different areas of knowledge. Moreover, Gerard appears to have followed a clear program in the works that he translated. This is revealed especially in the Vita and the “commemoration of his books” drawn up by his students after his death. A new edition of the Vita, Commemoratio librorum and Eulogium, based on all the manuscripts, concludes the article."

  Alchemical interior by Teniers
Posted by: Adam McLean - 09-10-2023, 05:59 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

Here is a rather fine view of a supposed alchemical laboratory. It is in Teniers' finest quality style. He often made rather poorly finished paintings, possibly for his less wealthy clients, but this is his best quality. Most of his familiar pictorial elements appear here.

  Apologies
Posted by: Adam McLean - 09-10-2023, 01:57 PM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - Replies (1)

My apologies for having neglected the forum of late. 
I have had a number of difficult situations to deal with recently, which needed my attention.
I hope to find more time to read over all the recent contributions and perhaps make some postings of my own.
