"No physical experimentation with metals or stones is involved in the alchemy that I will examine here. But under the direction of their founder and "Father," Conrad Beissel, the choral group at Ephrata cloister did engage in work that can be defined as alchemical. The principles that governed the composition of the tunes mirrored alchemical relations; the dietary regulations imposed on choral group members aimed at the spiritualization of the voice; and the relations between Beissel and the group members were tinctured with the drama of the alchemical love and war that played out within him. In the wilderness of Pennsylvania, during the mid-eighteenth century, Beissel invented his own idiosyncratic version of alchemy from those pieces of Boehmean theosophy he absorbed as a young man in Germany."

"Nasmyth’s painting ‘The Alchemist’ tells a tale of an old man and a youthful student, whose knowledge and energy combine to overcome the Spanish Inquisition."

"As the title "Alchemy in India and China" suggests, this thesis deals with some comparative aspects of Indian and Chinese alchemy. However, it should be noted that a comprehensive study of alchemy in these two countries is not the aim of this work."

Another contribution from the Lowens Fellows.

"Gendered and biological metaphors occur frequently in alchemical poems. At first glance, they may appear confusing to twenty-first-century readers, especially compared to dry modern scientific texts. However, they were acceptable and useful for early modern alchemists."
