  Thesis: Alchemy in India and China
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-15-2023, 06:52 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

by Deshpande, Vijaya Jayant

"As the title "Alchemy in India and China" suggests, this thesis deals with some comparative aspects of Indian and Chinese alchemy. However, it should be noted that a comprehensive study of alchemy in these two countries is not the aim of this work."

  Alchemical Metaphors and Practices
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-15-2023, 06:37 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Another contribution from the Lowens Fellows.

"Gendered and biological metaphors occur frequently in alchemical poems. At first glance, they may appear confusing to twenty-first-century readers, especially compared to dry modern scientific texts. However, they were acceptable and useful for early modern alchemists."

Juliane Müller

"The Mirror of Wonders” (Mirʾāt al-ʿajāʾib) is an illustrated Arabic treatise about a mysterious mirror that displays different alchemical symbols. This work of unsettled authorship, which was composed between the 12th and 16th centuries, has got a rich manuscript tradition with more than 45 extant copies dating from the 16th to the 20th centuries, including translations into Turkish and Persian and various short versions of the text."
