  A Turkish Alchemical Treatise by Āshıḳ Pasha
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-10-2023, 12:29 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Āshıḳ Pasha... was one of the most prolific poets of his era. He left behind a great number of written works in verse. Although almost all of his works deals with Islamic mysticism, his treatise Risāle-i Kimyā (“The treatise on alchemy”), is a significant source on alchemical knowledge written in Old Anatolian Turkish."

  The Sacred Science of Alchemy and the Black Madonna
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-10-2023, 12:18 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Out of the blackness of cosmic midnight the Primal Mother birthed the seeds of creation, the Primal Mother on whose lap all creation exists, also known as the Black Madonna. Her blackness represents the womb of the unmanifest quantum field from which all of creation arises and into which all of creation will eventually dissolve."

  The Strange, Secret History of Isaac Newton's Papers
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-10-2023, 12:02 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"The story of Newton’s writing and how it has survived to the modern day is the subject of a new [2014] book, The Newton Papers: The Strange and True Odyssey of Isaac Newton’s Manuscripts. Author Sarah Dry traces their mysterious and precarious history and reveals both the lucky twists and purposeful turns that kept the papers safe. We spoke to Dry about the famous luminary, his beliefs both rational and not, and the different ways that people have thought about Newton throughout history."

  Alchemical Belief: Occultism in the Religious Culture of Early Modern England
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-10-2023, 11:56 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - Replies (1)

"“Alchemists pursued the secrets of creation, and Alchemical Belief takes their aspirations seriously. With careful readings and well-chosen cases, Bruce Janacek demonstrates that alchemical writings need to be read in the context of their authors’ broader intellectual and devotional pursuits. Alchemical writings lent themselves to the expression of irenic, unifying aspirations for Christianity and provided solutions to the political and religious conflicts rending the early modern world. This argument is as refreshing as it is ambitious.”

  Thomas Willard: Alchemy and the Bible
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-10-2023, 11:39 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"John Donne thought it a wild extension of the imagination when he wrote, in his "Valediction: of the Booke" that "in the Bible some can finde out Alchimy." But many authors attempted it during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. This paper explores the logic behind their excesses, and establishes a link to explorations in archetypal literary criticism."
