The present volume owes its ongm to a Colloquium on "Alchemy and Chemistry in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries", held at the Warburg Institute on 26th and 27th July 1989. The Colloquium focused on a number of selected themes during a closely defined chronological interval: on the relation of alchemy and chemistry to medicine, philosophy, religion, and to the corpuscular philosophy, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The relations between Medicina and alchemy in the Lullian treatises were examined in the opening paper by Michela Pereira, based on researches on unpublished manuscript sources in the period between the 14th and 17th centuries. It is several decades since the researches of R.F. Multhauf gave a prominent role to Johannes de Rupescissa in linking medicine and alchemy through the concept of a quinta essentia. Michela Pereira explores the significance of the Lullian tradition in this development and draws attention to the fact that the early Paracelsians had themselves recognized a family resemblance between the works of Paracelsus and Roger Bacon's scientia experimentalis and, indeed, a continuity with the Lullian tradition.

Book Synopsis The Story of Alchemy and the Beginnings of Chemistry by : Matthew Moncrieff Pattison Muir

The system which began to be called alchemy in the 6th and 7th centuries of our era had no special name before that time, but was known as the sacred art, the divine science, the occult science, the art of Hermes.A commentator on Aristotle, writing in the 4th century A.D., calls certain instruments used for fusion and calcination "chuika organa," that is, instruments for melting and pouring. Hence, probably, came the adjective chyic or chymic, and, at a somewhat later time, the word chemia as the name of that art which deals with calcinations, fusions, meltings, and the like. The writer of a treatise on astrology, in the 5th century, speaking of the influences of the stars on the dispositions of man, says: "If a man is born under Mercury he will give himself to astronomy; if Mars, he will follow the profession of arms; if Saturn, he will devote himself to the science of alchemy (Scientia alchemiae)." The word alchemia which appears in this treatise, was formed by prefixing the Arabic al (meaning the) to chemia, a word, as we have seen, of Greek origin.

True history shines like a beacon in perilous times. History helps us understand our past so that we can be sure whether we are headed in the right direction. It is a noted fact that diverse cultures that appeared in the world had contributed greatly to the development of science, especially in the field of chemistry. Through this humble work of ours, we attempt to narrate the story of the science of Chemistry as it was developed by Arab nee Muslim scientists from the beginning 8th century until the 13th century CE. Titled, Alchemy to Chemistry: A History of Chemistry through the Middle. Ages. The book describes the great contributions that this science has made toward advancing human civilizations and how it will lead us to a brighter future. This study not only explores the golden age of Arab chemists but also gives an idea of some of the contributions made by ancient civilizations, especially ancient Indian civilization, to chemistry. What George Sarton wrote in his celebrated book, Introduction to the History of Science, (1950) is also worth quoting in this regard: If the West wants to experience the need for deep knowledge, let them turn their attention to the Arabs, not to Greek sources, first. The period in history between the 5th and 15th CE is largely obscured and those 1000 years of blacked-out history are poised to give rich dividends. These centuries designated as the dark ages, however, are the missing centuries of the history of the world. This period is not a void as some might call it derisively. That's far from the truth. Innumerable scholarly works happened. In fact, these long years were the incubation or gestation period for both. It is a pity that a large number of historians have turned a blind eye to this fact. When Europe was shrouded in the relative darkness of the Middle Ages following the demise of the Greco-Roman Civilization, Arab astronomers were observing the heavens from the observatories in Samarkhand, Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo, Marrakesh, and Cordova, where Islamic physicians, philosophers, physicists, mathematicians, geographers, and alchemists were pursuing their researches, preserving and extending the knowledge that they had obtained principally from the ancient Greeks, with some contributions from ancient Mesopotamia, Sasanian Persia, India, and China. It was through these scholars of science and learning that knowledge gained in the Islamic world passed to Europe, beginning as far back as the 6th to 9th centuries. Translations from Arabic to Latin inspired the developments that led to the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries, with the theories and discoveries of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton becoming the voices of the day. Several modern scholars such as Fielding H. Garrison, Sultan Bashir Mahmood, and Syed Hossein Nasr consider modern science and the scientific method to have been greatly inspired by medieval scientists who introduced a modern empirical, experimental and quantitative approach to scientific inquiry.

For thousands of years before men had any accurate and exact knowledge of the changes of material things, they had thought about these changes, regarded them as revelations of spiritual truths, built on them theories of things in heaven and earth (and a good many things in neither), and used them in manufactures, arts, and handicrafts, especially in one very curious manufacture wherein not the thousandth fragment of a grain of the finished article was ever produced. The accurate and systematic study of the changes which material things undergo is called chemistry; we may, perhaps, describe alchemy as the superficial, and what may be called subjective, examination of these changes, and the speculative systems, and imaginary arts and manufactures, founded on that examination. We are assured by many old writers that Adam was the first alchemist, and we are told by one of the initiated that Adam was created on the sixth day, being the 15th of March, of the first year of the world; certainly alchemy had a long life, for chemistry did not begin until about the middle of the 18th century.

Featuring more than 150 treasures from several of the world’s most prestigious collections, Making Marvels explores the vital intersection of art, technology, and political power at the courts of early modern Europe. It was there, from the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries, that a remarkable outpouring of creativity and learning gave rise to exquisite objects that were at once beautiful works of art and technological wonders. By amassing vast, glittering collections of these ingeniously crafted objects, princes flaunted their wealth and competed for mastery over the known world. More than mere status symbols, however, many of these marvels ushered in significant advancements that have had a lasting influence on astronomy, engineering, and even international politics. Incisive texts by leading scholars situate these works within the rich, complex symbolism of life at court, where science and splendor were pursued with equal vigor and together contributed to a culture of magnificence.
