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and alchemy in the Lullian treatises were examined in the opening paper by Michela Pereira, based on researches on unpublished manuscript sources in the period between the 14th and 17th centuries.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.

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.

This collection of essays examines the question of theory from the perspective of the history of chemistry. Through the lens of a number of different periods, the authors provide a historical analysis of the question of theory in the history of chemical practice. The consensus picture that emerges is that the history of science tells us a much more complex story about theory choice. A glimpse at scientific practice at the time shows that different, competing as well as non-competing, theories were used in the context of the scientific practice at the various times and sometimes played a pivotal pedagogical role in training the next generation of chemists. This brief brings together a history of chemical practice, and in so doing reveals that theory choice is conceptually more problematic than was originally conceived. This volume was produced as part of the Ad HOC chemistry research group hosted by University College London and University of Cambridge.

This book provides an historical overview of the recent developments in the history of diverse fields within chemistry. It follows on from Recent Developments in the History of Chemistry, a volume published in 1985. Covering chiefly the last 20 years, the primary aim of Chemical History: Reviews of the Recent Literature is to familiarise newcomers to the history of chemistry with some of the more important developments in the field. Starting with a general introduction and look at the early history of chemistry, subsequent chapters go on to investigate the traditional areas of chemistry (physical, organic, inorganic) alongside analytical chemistry, physical organic chemistry, medical chemistry and biochemistry, and instruments and apparatus. Topics such as industrial chemistry and chemistry in national contexts, whilst not featuring as separate chapters, are woven throughout the content. Each chapter is written by experts and is extensively referenced to the international chemical literature. Chemical History: Reviews of the Recent Literature is also ideal for chemists who wish to become familiar with historical aspects of their work. In addition, it will appeal to a wider audience interested in the history of chemistry, as it draws together historical materials that are widely scattered throughout the chemical literature.

"If he had lived among the Greeks, he would now be numbered among the stars." So wrote Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in his epitaph for Francis Mercury van Helmont. Leibniz was not the only contemporary to admire and respect van Helmont, but although famous in his own day, he has been virtually ignored by modern historians. Yet his views influenced Leibniz, contributed to the development of modern science, and fostered the kind of ecumenicalism that made the concept of toleration conceivable. The progressive nature of van Helmont's thought was based on his deep commitment to the esoteric doctrines of the Lurianic Kabbalah. With his friend Christian Knorr von Rosenroth, van Helmont edited the Kabbala Denudata (1677-1684), the largest collection of Lurianic Kabbalistic texts available to Christians up to that time. Because the subject matter of this work appears so difficult and arcane, it has never been appreciated as a significant text for understanding the emergence of modern thought. However, one can find in it the basis for the faith in science, the belief in progress, and the pluralism characteristic of later western thought. The Lurianic Kabbalah thus deserves a place it has never received in histories of western scientific and cultural developments. Although van Helmont's efforts contributed to the development of religious toleration, his experience as a prisoner of the Inquisition accused of "Judaising" reveals the problematic relations between Christians and Jews during the early-modern period. New Inquisitional documents relating to van Helmont's imprisonment will be discussed to illustrate the difficulties faced by anyone advocating philo-semitism and toleration at the time.
