  Alchemy, medicine, and religion in Ashmole's Theatrum Chemicum
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-11-2023, 10:35 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Regardless of time, place, and culture, alchemy has enjoyed a ménage à trois. On the one hand it has boasted the ability to find the panacea, that is, a universal cure for the body, thus claiming parentage to medicine. On the other hand, by declaring perfect knowledge of nature as its ulti- mate goal, the alchemical quest has been seen as a mystical way to find a cure for the soul, too. The aim of this essay is to shed light on the relationship of alchemy to medicine and religion through the case study of Elias Ashmole’s Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum."

Between Alchemy and Pietism

Wilhelm Christoph Kriegsmann’s Philological Quest for Ancient Wisdom

Mike A. Zuber


"A minor figure undeservedly forgotten, Wilhelm Christoph Kriegsmann (1633–1679) has received only limited attention from historians of alchemy and church historians. He is
known chiefly either for his idiosyncratic Phoenician reconstruction of the Tabula Smaragdina, a foundational text of alchemy attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, or alternatively for writing one of the earliest sustained defenses of Pietist conventicles to appear in print."
