A brief history of Indian alchemy covering the pre-vedic, vedic and Ayurvedic periods (Circa 4000 B.C. to 800 A.D.) was given in one of the previous issues of this Bulletin, i.e. Volume 23, NO.2, July, 1993, pp. 151-166. In continuation of the same, this article is presented here, giving an account of the development of the chemical knowledge in India during transitional and tantric periods (circa 800 A.D. to 1300 A.D.).

The Duke, the Soldier of Fortune, and a Rosicrucian Legacy: Exploring the Roles of Manuscripts in Early-Modern Alchemy

By Mike A Zuber

"By the time it was published in 1705, the "Speculum Sapientiae" claimed to have had a long history going back to 1672. However, the fact that exaggerated stories were commonplace in alchemical literature leads us to question its credibility. This paper explores the secret lives of this alchemical text prior to its print publication to clarify the roles of manuscripts in early-modern alchemy. Specifically, I argue that there were three aspects that could distinguish manuscript from print: provenance, materiality, and exclusivity."

East of Italy: Women and Alchemy at the 'Peripheries' of Early Modern Europe

By Meredith K . Ray

"Amid renewed interest in early modern alchemy, scholars have begun to examine the participation of women in alchemical culture more closely. While many studies focus on Western Europe – for example, England, France, Germany, Italy – much remains to be understood about women’s involvement with alchemy, medicine, and science in other, often less thoroughly studied, early modern sites. This essay traces an interconnected lineage of alchemical women that extends from sixteenth-century Italy into Central and Eastern Europe, connecting the house of Sforza to the royal Jagellion and Vasa dynasties."

A Sense of Wunder-: The Divine Construction of Rudolf II’s Kunstkammer

By Zoya Brumberg

"In this paper, I look at the ways that the Kunst- und Wunderkammers of the European Renaissance evoked animistic, spiritual understandings of the materials of the universe, and by doing so, functioned as divine spaces for their creators."

A Vision: Key to Yeats as Alchemical Poet and Magician

By Sarah Fuhro

"Conflicts and oppositions in Yeats' life and chart were healed and regarded in a new light through his experience with the channeled material he received and recorded in A Vision. This was the culmination of an alchemical process of soul work. His training as astrologer and occult philosopher allowed him to be able to read the messages of the spirits and the reception coincided with astrological indicators. His physical marriage with Georgie Hyde-Lees provided the necessary cauldron for the alchemical work to take place."
