Essai sur la constitution et la transmission de corpus alchimiques latins aux XIIIe-XVe siècles: Albert le Grand, Thomas d’Aquin, Roger Bacon (2019)

unapi

After recalling the positions of Albertus Magnus, Thomas Aquinas and Roger Bacon on alchemy, the author reviews the manuscripts that transmit the alchemical texts attributed to these authors. According to the study, if at times, especially at the beginning of the tradition, alchemical texts are playing a role in miscellanea, the general impression is that the alchemical manuscripts are restricted for the exclusive transcription of alchemical texts. We also notice the strong presence, at the top of these manuscripts, of "De mineralibus" of Albertus Magnus, a way of placing the alchemy under the aegis of the most prestigious master of the scholasticism and the natural sciences in the Middle Ages.
