"Hidden inside one of America’s most iconic academic libraries sits a collection that feels more like folklore than fact. At Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, thousands of rare texts rest behind a towering marble facade. Among them lies one of the most fascinating collections of early scientific imagination ever assembled: a major archive of medieval and Renaissance alchemical manuscripts."

"Alchemy is a temporary, immersive installation at the Bank of England Museum created by Melek Zeynep Studio for the London Festival of Architecture. Rooted in the ancient ideas of alchemy, the work explores belonging as a process of transformation, connection, and shared presence rather than a fixed state."

When: 15 June to 3 July 2026

"Alchemy is often associated with the Philosopher’s Stone, a legendary substance believed to transform matter and reveal hidden knowledge. In this project, the Philosopher’s Stone is reimagined not as an object, but as an experience. The installation responds to the movements, voices, and bodies of visitors, turning individual presence into something collective. As people move through the space, reflections shift, sounds change, and the environment is subtly altered. Belonging emerges through participation, through being seen, heard, and reflected back by the space and by others within it."

The Divine Pymander Of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus - Full Audiobook - Definitive Reference w/ Text
Hermetica is a category of literature dating from Late Antiquity that purports to contain secret wisdom, generally attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, "thrice-great Hermes", who is a syncretism of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian deity Thoth. A collection of several such Greek texts from the 2nd and 3rd centuries, remnants of a more extensive previous literature, were compiled into a Corpus Hermeticum by Italian scholars during the Renaissance, notably by Marsilio Ficino, whose Latin translation went through eight incunable editions before 1500, and a further twenty-two by 1641. [This is] John Everard's historically important 1650 translation into English of the Corpus Hermeticum, entitled The Divine Pymander."

"There are over seventy Sanskrit words for alchemy, but the main word would be rasa or rasayana. Indian / Vedic alchemy was created by Nagarjuna, considered one of the world’s most important Buddhist philosophers. Nagarjuna’s “Rasaratnakara” became the main source of alchemical practice, leading to the development of consciousness-based Tantric practices & Ayurveda...Vedic Alchemy is an ancient science that aims to rejuvenate & elevate the mind, body, and spirit. It seeks to transmute the ordinary into the extraordinary, aligning with the fundamental principles of the universe. At its core, Vedic Alchemy is a journey of Self-discovery & Self-mastery."

"Convinced that the antichrist was “at our gates,” the fourteenth-century Franciscan friar, alchemist, and prophet John of Rupescissa wrote The Book of the Light of the Great Magistery while imprisoned in papal Avignon. John’s goal was to provide a means for restoring a devastated post-antichrist Christendom using the philosophers’ stone, the substance able to transmute base metals into gold and silver. With this alchemical gold and silver, the true and faithful Franciscans, the “poor men of the Gospel,” could rebuild the Church and help usher in a millennium of peace and prosperity.

In this book launch seminar, Lawrence Principe will discuss the first critical edition, modern English translation, and focused study of John’s Book of the Light. The friar’s restored text, produced using both philological tools and laboratory reworkings, reveals John as an innovative thinker and practitioner whose ideas often oppose key features of Aristotelian natural philosophy, and requires a reassessment of the actual conditions of John’s long imprisonment."
