  Dorothea Juliana Wallich
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-30-2023, 08:43 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

Dorothea Juliana Wallich also: Dorothea Wallich or D. J. W., née Fischer[1] (* 1657 in Weimar; † 1725 in Arnstadt) was a Thuringian alchemist and is thus one of the few women known as alchemists. She wrote three alchemical books, which were published in 1705 and 1706. Karl Christoph Schmieder assumed that she had only published her father's manuscripts; however, he also considered her authorship to be possible.

En français.

"L’auteur Jean-Patrick Pourtal aborde dans cet épisode du podcast 'Mystères & Inexpliqués' la vie de Nicolas Flamel, un personnage historique des XIVᵉ et XVᵉ siècles. Nicolas Flamel est connu comme "écrivain public", c’est-à-dire, selon les mots de l’invité, un "homme de loi capable de rédiger des textes officiels" pour ceux qui ne pouvaient "ni lire ni écrire"."
