"This article seeks to unravel these complex yet fascinating systems of thought and practice. At their core, both traditions are united in their pursuit of knowledge and transformation, aiming not just for an understanding of the universe’s workings but for a profound, intimate union with the Divine. It is a path steeped in symbols, allegories, and rituals, each element a rung on the ladder to spiritual ascension.3

Artificial vitriols: a contemporary interpretation of historical ingredients[url=https://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2024/RA/D4RA01896F#fn1][/url]

Giacomo Montanari

"Vitriol” is a term that appeared during the Middle-Ages to indicate a wide range of ingredients widely used both in medicinal and alchemical recipes. Green, blue, or white vitriols are easily associated with iron(II), copper(II), and zinc sulphate respectively thanks to the historical sources composed in the time period when the ancient and modern nomenclatures overlapped. However, other colours of vitriols are attested throughout history, such as yellow, red, or black. The identification of these compounds is significantly less straightforward, and often chalked up to Decknamen (code names) or unspecified impure ores. Moreover, from several sources it is apparent that some of these compounds are artificial, or at least the result of technical operations rather than mineral ores used as they are. By thermal manipulation of iron(II) sulphate, we managed to identify several compounds that fit with historical descriptions, which were later characterized through XRPD. Moreover, by using a Kofler bench and variable temperature XRPD, we were able to further investigate the transitions between these phases.

The authorship of the manuscript has been tentatively attributed to Johannes von Teschen or Ticinensis, but it is the artistic style of the illustrations that has attracted considerable attention, as the watercolours have been attributed to the workshop of Giovanni Bellini (1430-1516).
In this depiction, the composition of the elements is represented by letters:
Terra > T (Earth),
Aer > A ( Air)
Aqua > A ( Water)
Ignis > I ( Fire)

Includes The Imperfect Circle: Hester Pulter’s Alchemical Forms

"Pulter’s alchemical knowledge is at the crux of each poem’s journey and form. Via the influence of Kenelm Digby and an interest in palingenesis—attempts to resurrect plants from their ashes—this chapter focuses on Pulter’s adoption of alchemical transmutation as the central conceit of her desire to become one with God. Pulter’s detailed understanding of alchemy is evident, I argue, in her knowing rejection of its artificial goals. Her written transmutations of body, soul and poetic form ultimately return to their prima materia, as Pulter chooses imperfect conclusions and awaits the finishing hand of the Divine."

"The Alchemical Arts channel is a way in which I can share my journey down the Alchemical path. The channel will be as much concerned with the practical side of Alchemical exploration as it will be with the psycho spiritual domain of the Alchemical dream. This channel is also a look into the intricate processes that go into making many of the paints and pigments that I go on to sell. A key philosophy of The Alchemical Arts is to help artists to develop a deeper bond with the materials that they use. So it's my hope that alongside reaching my own Alchemical goals, these videos may also aid in the process of intensifying the relationship between artists and their art - through the mediums that make it possible."
