  Leibniz and Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-30-2023, 11:44 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

By George MacDonald Ross 
Studia Leibnitiana, Sonderheft 7, Magia naturalis und die Entstehung der modernen Naturwissenschaften, 1975, pp.166–177

"As I have shown in my article “Leibniz and the Nuremberg Alchemical Society”, which appeared in last year’s Studia Leibnitiana it is beyond all reasonable doubt that Leibniz was employed by an alchemical society during the winter of 1666-67."

https://www.academia.edu/35663802/LEIBNIZ_AND_ALCHEMY


See this article also:

"Leibniz played on alchemical dreams of transmutation to sell his own venture. Like the alchemists before him, he promised vast wealth from the fruits of secret knowledge. If the forces of nature could be harnessed to work the mines, there would be no need for transmutation; the silver was there already, in the bowels of the Harz. The issue was simply how to recover it."

  Anna Zieglerin and the Lion’s Blood
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-30-2023, 11:31 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

Anna Zieglerin and the Lion’s Blood: Alchemy and End Times in Reformation Germany. By Tara Nummedal. Haney Foundation Series. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2019. Pp. xii+288. $49.95.

"In 1573, the alchemist Anna Zieglerin gave her patron, the Duke of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, the recipe for an extraordinary substance she called the lion's blood. She claimed that this golden oil could stimulate the growth of plants, create gemstones, transform lead into the coveted philosophers' stone—and would serve a critical role in preparing for the Last Days."

  Alchemy and Authority in the Holy Roman Empire
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-30-2023, 11:26 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

By Tara E. Nummedal

"Drawing on criminal trial records, contracts, laboratory inventories, satires, and vernacular alchemical treatises, Alchemy and Authority in the Holy Roman Empire situates the everyday alchemists, largely invisible to modern scholars until now, at the center of the development of early modern science and commerce."
