Ambix: Journal of the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry
Volume: 68
Issue: 2-3
Pages: 119-134
The question of institutional association is crucial for the historical assessment of alchemy and for the determination of its intellectual place in early modern Europe. In that regard, an assumed disconnect between alchemy and the university has played a decisive role in its historical appraisal. Perceived as an occult practice, historical alchemy has long been treated outside the precincts of European academic learning. Recent decades, however, have witnessed a change in this traditional picture with ground-breaking and detailed research brought to bear upon uncovering alchemy’s knowledge networks, terminology, methods, and technical procedures. Re-examining the question of alchemy’s standing at early modern European universities was the intention of an International Conference, “Alchemy and University,” which took place at the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel in November 2019. The papers included in this special issue of Ambix derive from that conference.
