"Christian legend and myth also found fertile ground in the practices of alchemy. Through the perfection of metals the alchemists sought their own perfection and, indeed, the salvation of all matter. The alchemist sought to dissolve and then fuse his own physical matter and spirit with the prime matter of the universe. These efforts at the reduction into prime matter were thought to make possible the re-creation of individual and cosmos as a single, pure element. Even the philosopher’s stone or elixir was reinterpreted so that Christ appeared as the perfect matter produced by the alchemical process—that is, Christ was the stone of all wisdom and knowledge. In the alchemist’s spiritual forge, the Stone reemerged from the Matrix, the crucible containing the so-called Bath of Mary, whose amniotic fluids dissolved all impurities"

"This introduction discusses the evolution and impact of Paracelsianism over the past four decades, highlighting the importance of forgeries attributed to Paracelsus in shaping the fields of alchemy, medicine, and philosophy. The subsequent articles in the special issue focus on a range of works attributed to Paracelsus, examining their authenticity and influence on early modern thought."

"The Vita coaetanea (A Contemporary Life) is an autobiographical account of Ramon Llull´s life dictated by himself to a friend in 1311 when he was seventy-nine years old. In it Llull reviews his works in the context of a life dedicated to God and motivated by the desire to disseminate the message of the Christian faith among the infidels. Llull, the self-labeled troubadour of books, wrote this account in part as a self-justification of his life and work, in part as self-consolation for his unending toils and travails. It is very likely that he also had in mind the Council of Vienne (1311) which he was about to attend and where he submitted petitions dealing with the establishment of adequate places to study languages for the preaching of the Gospel to every creature and the founding of a Christian military religious order that waged permanent war against the Saracens until the Holy Land is reconquered. Llull wanted to frame these petitions within a well thought-out justificatory account of his life and works that exudes passion, commitment and love for his fellow man. This volume contains the Latin original, as well as translations into Catalan, Spanish, and English."

"The paper explores the impact of Paracelsus on the transition from alchemy to medical chemistry, critically examining his departure from traditional Galenic medicine. It presents an analysis of the interplay between alchemical practices and their medicinal applications during Paracelsus's time. The discussion also addresses the broader historical context of alchemy and its influence on fields such as biochemistry and homeopathy. Ultimately, it posits that while Paracelsus played a significant role in shaping medical chemistry, the evolution of iatrochemistry may have occurred independently of him."
