Master's Thesis/Barrie Davis.
"The reunion of a man with God is the subject of a medieval text which aggregates excerpts from the Bible and Arabic alchemical texts that had recently become available in Europe. The Aurora Consurgens personifies God as Wisdom, a spiritual being who not only formed the world in the beginning but is also a guide to men to return to God subsequent to their separation at the Fall."

Thesis by Sarita Rich.
"While many of Shakespeare’s alchemical allusions are noted for their language of
positive regeneration and healing, the playwright’s departures from these conventional uses of
alchemy deserve further attention. This essay presents an examination of inversions in the
redemptive alchemical paradigm of Othello, a play whose connections to alchemy are not
announced by obvious references to gold making, the philosopher's stone, or other key terms
relating to the discourse of the opus that a modern audience is likely to recognize. I argue that in
Othello, alchemical allusions are more subtly deployed in the language that describes Othello
and Desdemona’s marriage, in the metaphorical speech of Othello’s self-doubt, in Desdemona’s
characterization, and in Iago’s references to medicine."
