"The full history of alchemy in Arabic and Hebrew remains to be written; the following remarks are no more than a few signposts. 3 It hardly needs saying that alchemy was a flourishing discipline in the Arabophone cultural area, both on the level of practice and on that of theory. 4 I begin with a short account of what we know of Jewish practice of alchemy in Islamic cultural contexts."

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo central compreender os principais motivos que levaram o Renascimento europeu a mudar de perspectiva em relação ao temível humor melancólico. Entretanto, este estudo vai além das principais razões que levaram a dita "civilização da Renascença" a encarar a melancolia, uma vez que realizamos um mergulho na história renascentista dos séculos XV e XVI, explorando alguns aspectos do misticismo cristão, os complexos conceitos do hermetismo advindos do neoplatonismo florentino até as questões artísticas que permearam o Renascimento. Assim, este livro aborda as bases culturais do universo renascentista que resultaram na transformação do malquisto humor melancólico em ideal de genialidade.

The main aim of this study is to understand the key reasons that led the European Renaissance to change its perspective on the dreaded melancholic mood. However, this study goes beyond the main reasons that led the so-called ‘Renaissance civilisation’ to view melancholy in a new light, as we delve into the Renaissance history of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, exploring aspects ranging from Christian mysticism and the complex concepts of Hermeticism derived from Florentine Neoplatonism to the artistic issues that permeated the Renaissance. Thus, this book examines the cultural foundations of the Renaissance world that led to the transformation of the once-maligned melancholic temperament into an ideal of genius.

"It is with some trepidation that my contribution brings together alchemy and the Primavera, especially as so much interpretative ink has flowed in the world of art history since Sandro Botticelli created this beautiful painting in Florence, probably sometime between 1477 and 1482. Yet I have long felt that alchemy inspired his artistic vision, shaping the painting's puzzling juxtaposition of nine figures grouped in triads and unusual symbolic details."

"For over a century, the Voynich Manuscript has remained a cryptographic impasse due to the prevailing academic assumption that its script represents a natural, spoken language intended for linear reading. This research challenges that paradigm by proposing a Technical Shorthand Model, positing that the manuscript is not a book of prose but a high-density, non-narrative laboratory manual for a 15th-century apothecary. By utilizing high-speed pattern recognition to map specific word tokens to their visual contexts, a consistent internal logic emerges that treats the vellum as a functional technical inventory rather than a linguistic puzzle."

"This article explores English poet John Gower and the sciences from the perspective of alchemy. Topics include the role of the alchemical passages of the poem "Confessio Amantis" in uncovering their centrality to two of Gower's concerns including the decline of the world and the decline of language, and the transforming force of labor in reforming both the individual and society."
