The Amṛtasiddhi: Haṭhayoga’s Flash in the Alchemical Pan

By James Mallinson

"The Amṛtasiddhi is an eleventh-century Vajrayāna work written in Sanskrit, which is the first text to teach any of the practices and principles of what came to be classified in later texts as haṭhayoga, yoga in which physical texts predominate. Much of the text is couched in alchemical metaphors, and the names of the three primary techniques describing yogic processes such as breathing exercises and their effects on the body and the mind each have alchemical parallels. This chapter presents the various alchemical aspects of the text and analyses their reception—including their rejection or misinterpretation—in later works on yoga and provides insight into the spread of alchemical thought and methods into other Indic disciplines, and among different religious groups."

Zosimos Aigyptiakos. Identifying the Imagery of the "Visions" and Locating Zosimos of Panopolis in His Egyptian Context

By Marina Escolano-Poveda

"The first alchemist for whom we have biographical data, Zosimos, lived in the Panopolis (current Akhmim) of the late third–early fourth centuries CE, a region in which evidence of the practice of traditional Egyptian religion is attested well into Late Antiquity. The images that Zosimos employed in his presentation of alchemical procedures and apparatus offer us an insight into his cultural context. This paper will examine a series of passages from the works of Zosimos of Panopolis from an Egyptological perspective, contrasting them with textual and iconographic sources from the Egyptian temple milieu of Graeco-Roman Egypt. The results of this inquiry will be used to elaborate a more nuanced presentation of Zosimos’ identity."

"Kimyâ-yı Saâdet (The Alchemy of Happiness), written by Imam al-Ghazālī, is a condensed and simplified adaptation of his magnum opus Ihyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn. The work explains the fundamental moral and religious principles necessary for attaining spiritual maturity. Topics such as self-knowledge, purification of the soul, articles of faith, the significance of worship, belief in the hereafter, states of the heart and soul, repentance, and spiritual cleansing are discussed in depth. Al-Ghazālī emphasizes that both worldly and eternal happiness can only be achieved through a life centered on divine consent."

"The question of how to create life does not just go back to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, when the eponymous character used forbidden science to create life. Humans have been interested in creating artificial life since at least classical antiquity and probably much earlier. One manifestation of this is the idea of the homunculus, a diminutive humanoid creature that was believed to be created through magical means."

"Another amazing medieval discovery has been made in eastern Europe. This time, hundreds of medieval objects were unearthed in east-central Poland. The discovery was made when excavators were preparing for new gas works in the village of Poniaty Wielkie, Poland. Here, Polish archaeologists found the remains of an ancient alchemical workshop containing over 200 metal and ceramic objects. But more important were the ancient production remnants that were also found at the site including furnaces, wells and rubbish pits. Each artifact reveals “the economic development of the medieval settlement,” according to Polish Police. Some of these medieval objects are unique and will likely tell us more about the people who made them and what they were used for and by whom."

Darke Hierogliphicks: Alchemy in English Literature from Chaucer to the Restoration

"The literary influence of alchemy and hermeticism in the work of most medieval and early modern authors has been overlooked. Stanton Linden now provides the first comprehensive examination of this influence on English literature from the late Middle Ages through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Drawing extensively on alchemical allusions as well as on the practical and theoretical background of the art and its pictorial tradition, Linden demonstrates the pervasiveness of interest in alchemy during this three-hundred-year period. Most writers―including Langland, Gower, Barclay, Eramus, Sidney, Greene, Lyly, and Shakespeare―were familiar with alchemy, and references to it appear in a wide range of genres. Yet the purposes it served in literature from Chaucer through Jonson were narrowly satirical. In literature of the seventeenth century, especially in the poetry of Donne, Herbert, Vaughan, and Milton, the functions of alchemy changed. Focusing on Bacon, Donne, Herbert, Vaughan, and Milton―in addition to Jonson and Butler―Linden demonstrates the emergence of new attitudes and innovative themes, motifs, images, and ideas. The use of alchemy to suggest spiritual growth and change, purification, regeneration, and millenarian ideas reflected important new emphases in alchemical, medical, and occultist writing. This new tradition did not continue, however, and Butler's return to satire was contextualized in the antagonism of the Royal Society and religious Latitudinarians to philosophical enthusiasm and the occult. Butler, like Shadwell and Swift, expanded the range of satirical victims to include experimental scientists as well as occult charlatans. The literary uses of alchemy thus reveal the changing intellectual milieus of three centuries"
