"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."

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."

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."
