Dissertation: Alchemy in Medieval Islam - Paul Ferguson - 01-09-2026

Alchemy in Medieval Islam and Abū Bakr al-Rāzī

By Takatomo Inoue

"This dissertation aims to establish a basis when studying the history of alchemy in medieval Islam, to make clear what is alchemists’ alchemical theory and what is not in spite of affirmative claims, to reassess understanding of alchemy among modern scholars, to explore experimentalism in alchemy and to examine al-Rāzī’s alchemy, use of experience, and the relationship between his alchemy and medicine."
