  La sferza de gl'alchimisti
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-10-2025, 09:26 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - Replies (1)

At Liber Antiquus, Early Printed Books and Manuscripts.

"A very rare book, in which the author excoriates the false doctrines of alchemy and its practitioners, who spread the "seeds of their stupidity without any sense of shame for their nonsense" in the streets where they congregate, in their schools, and in their precious furnaces."

  AI & Renaissance Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-07-2025, 08:08 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"I first met you at your talk, An Alternate History of Technology, AI & Its Alchemical Future, based on your podcast. In that talk, you established that the mathematical and conceptual basis of artificial intelligence was actually founded in Renaissance alchemy—that is, within a paradigm in which material science and spirituality were still unified as one."

  Willard essay: A New Magical Light of Thomas Vaughan
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-07-2025, 07:58 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In April of 1651, the thirty-year-old Welshman Thomas Vaughan released what he said would be his last “discourse,” titled Lumen de Lumine, or a New Magical Light. It was also to be the key to his first, published the previous year and the subject of a protracted debate. Vaughan would continue to write books under the pseudonym Eugenius Philalethes (“well-born lover of truth”), but this new one would be unlike anything else he ever wrote.”

  Alchemy and Light: an Introduction
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-07-2025, 07:44 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Light in Alchemy is a much debated, as well as fascinating, topic. But few have understood what it’s really about. Since the greatest mistake alchemists can make is trying to learn the “how” instead of the “why”, we often find ourselves tied for life to only one of the innumerable paths and thus never arriving at the knowledge of the true foundations. Alchemists, be curious, don’t be stubborn!"

  The Strange Death of James Price
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-07-2025, 07:25 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In the world of grand promises and bold claims, the line between confidence and deception can blur all too easily. What begins as ambition can quickly spiral into illusion, and the pressure to maintain appearances grows heavier with every passing moment. In 1783, James Price, a chemist and self-proclaimed alchemist, found himself in such a predicament. Trapped in a web of his own making, he chose a tragic end over the humiliation of exposure."
