Practical Chemistry of the Ancients?Metallurgy: Cold, Silver, Electrum, Copper, Bronze, TIn. In the preceding chapters we have discussed such theories of the ancients as involve the conception of change of matter (notably the assumed transmutation of the elements), and which hence concern the early history of chemistry. Having done with theory, we How have to inquire to what extent the ancients were acqainted' with practical chemistry, what metals or other elements were known to them, and what processes dependent upon chemical action. We do not, of course, use the term practical chemistry strictly in its present sense, because chemistry as a science was altogether unknown to the ancients. Some have, indeed, endeavoured to prove that the Egyptians must have been acquainted with the science, from the skill with which they used various metallic oxides for colouring glass; but we have no proof of this. Neither Herodotus, nor Pliny, nor Vitruvius, indicates any knowledge of chemistry, as a science, among either Egyptians, Greeks, or Romans. Pliny, in his celebrated Natural History, has laboriously amassedall the practical science and pseudo-science which the anci nts possessed, and we find no mention of either chemistry or alchemy. At the same time it is impossible that the Egyptians and Sidonians can have attained their marvellous skill in the manufacture and colouring of glass, and in the extraction and working of metals, without the acquirement of a considerable amount of knowledge of the properties of matter, and of certain chemical changes. But this knowledge could never be worked up into a comprehensive system; it resulted from the labour of artizans, and the gulf between the philosopher and the manipulator was both wide and deep. There could be n...

Chemistry? Who is the father? Hermes Trismegistus or Ostanes, as my Byzantine filter bring in front. Mather? Cleopatra with Casiopeea or Marie with Bain Marie? Or is a story like Prometheus adventure? Today transmutation is done. Tomorrow ... Looking through the Rodwell eyes (that's the magic of the books with this subject) from the shoulders of giants (that's the magic of learning) I stick together few pieces of the puzzle using scientific method (that's Bibliography). Let's have a look over content: - Ancient Science - Origin of Chemistry - Definition of the Name - Definitions of Chemical Science; Early ideas relative to the formation of the World - Thales of Miletus - Later Beliefs in his Doctrine - Anaximenes - Empedokles - Herakleitos - Anaxagoras - Demokritos - The Atomic Theory - Aristotle - The Ethereal Medium - Transmutation of the Elements - The Four-element theory - Mode of interpreting it - Cause of the absence of Natural Science among the Ancients - Practical Chemistry of the Ancients - Metallurgy: Gold, Silver, Elect rum, Copper, Bronze, Tin Iron, Lead, Silver - Colors used for Painting and Dyeing - Glass - Certain Minerals known to the Ancients - Miscellaneous Processes...and this is only the beginning. Magic is not missing until Chemistry is born. Or is still present? "The term alchemy itself comes from two roots: al, which is Arabic for "the," and chemeia It is unclear what chemeia actually means. There were two forms of the term in Greek: chemeia and chymia. The former refers to the process of extracting juice, while the later has to do with deriving metals from ore. For both forms, the transmutative processes comprise the common element, the transformation of a given substance into a higher one. We might, therefore, think of alchemy as the art of transmutation."

Excerpt from A Short History of Chemistry In attempting to discover traces of a science in earliest historic times, one must first disabuse his mind of the idea that he will find it in anything like the elaborated modern form in which he knows it. These natural sciences are the result of a long process of evolution, and the primal form will probably prove a very much disguised one. In most cases it is idle to speak of systematic science as existing among the ancients. Unquestionably there was knowledge of isolated scientific facts, - here and there one may find a crude theory, more justly to be styled a philosopher's dream, - but of system there was none. When one speaks, then, of the birth of chemistry, some such stage is meant as that of the ovum, which will lead through a series of metamorphoses up to the perfected insect. And yet it is most useful and entertaining to study these transformations. Rodwell aptly compares it to the study of the history of a nation. There is first the groping after causes, and then the struggle to frame laws. There are intellectual revolutions, bitter controversial conflicts, and the crash and wreck of fallen philosophies.

"Fresh…solid…full of suspense and intrigue." —Publishers Weekly Antoine Lavoisier reinvented chemistry, overthrowing the long-established principles of alchemy and inventing an entirely new terminology, one still in use by chemists. Madison Smartt Bell’s enthralling narrative reads like a race to the finish line, as the very circumstances that enabled Lavoisier to secure his reputation as the father of modern chemistry—a considerable fortune and social connections with the likes of Benjamin Franklin—also caused his glory to be cut short by the French Revolution.
