Anatomy of Seventeenth-Century Alchemy and Chemistry - Paul Ferguson - 09-28-2023 Thesis (Bristol) By Anna S T Leendertz-Ford "It is claimed that alchemy and alchemists/early modern chymists contributed substantially to proto-chemistry in important ways. To a significant degree, sound science was being practised in the Latin West during the seventeenth century, though not all criteria were met consistently across all nations at all times. This thesis will: (1)Define the criteria for best practice of science (specifically chemistry) using a Wittgensteinian approach; (2)Examine the level to which such criteria were appreciated and adhered to across a representative sample of chemical practices during the seventeenth century." https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/studentTheses/anatomy-of-seventeenth-century-alchemy-and-chemistry
