"Archaeologists at sites in Ribe, a Danish trading port in southwest Jutland, have published a new study in Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences related to the evolution of metalwork skills and craftsmanship of early Viking craftspeople in Denmark in the 8th and 9th centuries. Founded in the early 8 th century during the Germanic Iron Age, Ribe is the oldest extant town in Scandinavia. Having analyzed a hoard of alchemical tools discovered there, they have uncovered a hitherto unknown secrets about the evolution of metallurgy at the dawn of the Viking Age."

Alchemy of the Ancient Goths: Johannes Bureus’ Search for the Lost Wisdom of Scandinavia

Håkan Håkansson
Lund University Library


The Swedish polymath Johannes Bureus (1568–1652), Royal Librarian and close friend of King Gustavus Adolphus, is primarily known as an exponent of early modern
“Gothicism,” i.e., the idea that the ancient Goths of Scandinavia were the first rulers of Europe and Sweden the true origin of Western culture. But Bureus was also an avid
reader of alchemical literature, as well as a practising alchemist"

Paradis, Paul Canossa, called. Ce livre contient ung petit traicte de Alkimie tourné de langue hebraique en langue françoyse. Manuscript on vellum. [Paris, before 1540]

A compilation of seventy-three recipes of practical alchemy, preceded by an explication of the terms used, and an indication of the days and the planets attributed to specific metals. Its author (d. 1549) was descended from an important Jewish family of Venice, the Meshulam (known as “Dal Banco”). He had converted to Catholicism and travelled to France, where he joined a sister, Françoise, at the court of the Queen of Navarre, Marguerite d’Angoulême, becoming her tutor in Greek and Hebrew, then in October 1530 professor of Hebrew at the Collège de France. He assumed the name “Paradis” about 1533 and was naturalized in 1537.

The manuscript was written for the soldier and stateman Anne de Montmorency (1493–1567), appointed by François I in 1538 Constable of France.
