  Digital Library of the Middle East

"In response to the tragic displacement of people, loss of life in conflict zones, and ongoing threats to the cultural heritage of the Middle East through destruction, looting, and illicit trafficking, the Digital Library of the Middle East (DLME) has begun to federate Middle Eastern collections from around the world, creating a publicly accessible,  inter-operable digital library of cultural material."

  John Damian de Falcuis: the Birdman of Stirling Castle
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-23-2025, 01:11 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"This bizarre story begins when “a penniless” Italian-born cleric by the name of John Damian de Falcuis, found his way to the city of Stirling in Scotland at the end of the 15th century. John was bereft of cash but loaded with charm, evident in that he was recorded as “attending the royal court of James IV of Scotland" at the beginning of the sixteenth century."

  Warburg blog: The Hermaphrodite
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-23-2025, 01:07 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Whilst the word ‘hermaphrodite’ is now understood to be a derogatory term, in this blog we use it in reference to classical, medieval and early modern sources. Indeed, as argued by Leah DeVun, in the European Middle Ages the term ‘hermaphrodite’ was not always associated to individuals.Instead, it was often used as an abstract analytical tool through which to explain the very nature of human identity. As such, the ‘alchemical hermaphrodite’ provides a powerful tool through which to explore how medieval scientists were thinking about sex and gender within the wider world."

  Near Eastern Origins of Graeco-Egyptian Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-23-2025, 12:57 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

By Matteo Martelli and Maddalena Rumor

"The paper investigates the interplay between Near Eastern esoteric traditions and Graeco-Egyptian alchemy, focusing on the distinction between initiated and uninitiated knowledge in both cultures. It highlights ancient Babylonian and Greek philosophical concepts of secret knowledge, tracing their evolution from mystery cults to scholarly traditions and examining their implications for understanding alchemical practices. The work argues for significant parallels between ancient esoteric texts and emerging philosophical frameworks, providing insights into the transmission of knowledge across cultures." (AI-generated abstract).

  The Alchemical Laboratory in 16th & 17th Fine Art

The Alchemical Laboratory in the Mirror of 16th and 17th Century Fine Art

by Ivo Purs

"During the first half of the 17th century, the depiction of the alchemist in the laboratory became one of the common themes in Dutch and Flemish genre painting. These depictions took different forms: some were satirical, while others showed the alchemist with some seriousness and were frequently surrounded by a melancholic atmosphere."

  Herb: Caesalpinia digyny
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-22-2025, 10:33 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Over centuries, perception shifted from purely alchemical spice to a mainstream herbal remedy valued for joint health, digestive support, and occasional topical treatments for minor skin irritations. Interestingly, while classical texts emphasize bark, contemporary practitioners often prefer seed extracts—this switch reflects better extraction yields of active glycosides from seeds."

"A queen in red is presented with dishes of blood on a hill; below, a man in a white robe gesticulates to the heavens; while another man stands next to alchemical apparatus, facing a man who is lying sick in bed; representing a stage in the process of alchemy. Coloured etching, ca 18th century"
