Antonella Sanino

"The author focuses on the alchemical song En pulcher lapis and gives a new transcription of its text according to the manuscripts. The paper also examines some other textstransmitted by alchemical manuscripts dealing with the elixir of philosophers, elixir of life or elixir of immortality as well as three drawings representing Hermes Trismegistus."

MA Thesis: Through the Alchemical Looking Glass. An Interpretation of Stephan Michelspacher's Cabala: Spiegel der Kunst und Natur, in Alchymia concerning the Tincture of the Alchemists

By Alinda van Ackooy

"Due to the richness of its illustrations, the details of the engravings in the Cabala are often discussed in works on the symbolism of alchemical emblems. This thesis aims at presenting evidence that the Cabala is not to be interpreted as a psychological, spiritual or Christological work, but as a practical guideline for the alchemical transmutation, particularly in relation to Paracelsus' The Treasure of Treasures for Alchemists."

John Slater

"Around 1675, preachers across Spain and from many religious orders began to find chymical analogies useful or pleasing, and they began talking about chymistry in the pulpit. The results of preachers’ newfound interest in chymistry included three marked changes in their sermons: first, chymistry quickly became a positive analogy for spiritual change; second, these positive analogies grew in number, variety, and frequency; and third, descriptions of chymical processes and practices became increasingly technical and related to the controversies regarding chymistry in religious and scientific communities."

Emilia Wieliczko-Paprota

"This article demonstrates the importance of alchemical symbolism in Victorian fairy tales. Contrary
to Jungian analysts who conceived alchemy as forgotten knowledge, this study shows the vivid tra-
dition of alchemical symbolism in Victorian literature."

Aristotelianism, alchemy and corpuscularianism in the thirteenth century: the problem of substantial form and its corpuscular solution

By Athanasios Rinotas

"The Avicennan text De congelatione et conglutinatione lapidum had a great influence on the alchemical thought of the thirteenth century. This Latin text disputed both the veracity of alchemy and the possibility of alchemical transmutation by arguing that art is inferior to nature and that the alchemists cannot manipulate a metal because its true characteristics are hidden from our senses; thus an alchemist cannot change something which is unknown to him. Newman's pioneer studies examined the diffusion and impact of the first Avicennan argument on medieval alchemy and he shed light on the art-versus-nature debate. This paper has a twofold aim: on the one hand it aims to further Newman's study by focusing on the second Avicennan argument, which is closely related to the problem of substantial form, and on the other hand it aims to show how the aforesaid problem paved the way for the emergence of corpuscularianism, which flourished during the early modern period. In this regard, it will become clear that the historiographical case of alchemy and its problem of substantial form can serve as an exegetical tool for 'bridging' the Middle Ages and the early modern period with respect to the relation between Aristotelianism and corpuscularianism."

"Alchemy symbols form a complete visual language: four element triangles (fire, water, air, earth), seven planetary metal glyphs (gold/Sun, silver/Moon, mercury, copper, iron, tin, lead), three Paracelsian primes (sulfur, mercury, salt), and composite symbols like the ouroboros and squared circle for the philosopher's stone."

Deciphering the Linguistic, Botanical, and Celestial Structure of the Voynich Manuscript: A Lexical and Contextual Approach

By Jessica Scott Dun

"This study in the Voynich Manuscript presents a systematic method for decoding its terminology by analyzing recurring linguistic patterns, cross-referencing medieval Latin abbreviations, and validating findings through comparative historical sources. The methodology focuses on pattern recognition, semantic clustering, and paleographic analysis. "
