Three Alchemical Miniatures - Paul Ferguson - 03-15-2025
"The Science History Institute’s Three Alchemical Miniatures correspond to text from Das Buch der heiligen Dreifaltigkeit (The Book of the Holy Trinity). Produced in the 1400s in either Southern Germany or Austria, the Buch is distinguished as being the first alchemical treatise composed in German, rather than the more prevalently used Latin. Though Das Buch’s authorship has not been definitively attributed, scholars speculate that the author was a Franciscan monk who sought financial support from Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg and his wife Barbara of Cilli before eventually securing royal patronage from margrave Frederic I of Brandenburg."
