  Discorso sopra la Chimica by Antonio Neri
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-22-2023, 04:43 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"Discorso sopra la Chimica is an early seventeenth-century manuscript on alchemy written by the Florentine priest Antonio Neri, best known as the author of the first published treatise on glassmaking – L’Arte Vetraria (1612) – which was widely read for centuries. The Discorso shows a different face of Neri, that of the alchemist with a profound knowledge of Paraselsian doctrine... In this paper I discuss Antonio Neri and the background to his important work, reflecting on its impact and what it tells us about a fascinating and complex period in the birth of modern science. This is followed by a translation of the complete text of Discorso sopra la Chimica."

  The Two Marriages in Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-22-2023, 04:36 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

By Emmanuel Le Bouter

"The purpose of this article is to try to shed some light on an aspect of the alchemical work, which at first seems very complex: the concept of the two marriages. A personal definition of the most important terms in alchemy, which are necessary to understand the article, is first given. Then, the two alchemical marriages are covered in a systematical manner, putting in parallel the notions of laboratory and oratory."
