  Dissertation: Alchemical Imagination and the Soul's Logical Life
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-22-2023, 04:34 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

by S. Marlan

"Alchemy has been viewed within the context of the history of natural science as a precursor to and a primitive form of chemistry. The enigmatic goal of the alchemical process, the Philosophers’ Stone, is the focus of this dissertation."

  Baroque Alchemy in Carniola
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-22-2023, 04:29 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

by Andraž Žvab,

"In the following article I present the late-renaissance and baroque alchemy in Habsburg territories, particularly in the Duchy of Carniola. Beside the introductory chapters the main  part of the article deals with alchemy in the Duchy of Carniola. Among included topics are: late renaissance and early baroque alchemists in Ljubljana; association of alchemy with the quicksilver mine in Idrija; the mysterious Strmol castle and its owners, nearly all eager alchemists; alchemical endeavours of Johannes Friedrich von Rain and his contemporaries; and finally, the occult and alchemical interests of Freiherr Johann Weichardt von Valvasor."

  Peter Forshaw webinars: Khunrath
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-21-2023, 03:22 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

The first lecture in the Infinite Fire Webinar series focuses on Heinrich Khunrath’s Amphitheatrum Sapientiae Aeternae – “The Amphitheatre of Eternal Wisdom”, which was originally published in 1595. This book  has traditionally been considered a strange mix of Christianity and magic. Peter elaborates on the alchemical symbolism of four circular and five rectangular engravings integrated in the Amphitheatrum, and comments on a number of the other famous engravings in this remarkable work.

  Michael Maier's Atalanta Fugiens: Sources of an Alchemical Book of Emblems
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-21-2023, 03:11 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

By HME de Jong

"In the new publication of this important 17th-century work, Dr. H. M. E. de Jong translates the mottos and epigrams of the original 50 emblems and provides a summary of both Maier's exposition and a commentary on each emblem. She discuses the meaning and importance of the Atalanta Fugiens, the sources Maier used, and the mutual relationships between the emblems. She also includes an additional 30 alchemical engravings that explain her research, including several hard-to-find foldouts reproduced here in this volume."

  Hermetic and Alchemical Figures of Claudius De Dominico Celentano Vallis Novi
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-21-2023, 02:08 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"The text of this manuscript is as enigmatic as are its diagrams; but to him who will meditate upon the profound significance of both, the deeper issues of mysticism in due time will be made clear."
