#alchemy — Public Fediverse posts

Since #Ugent admits having appointed a pseudo scientist, I just might apply for a Chair in #parascience, #alchemy and #witchcraft, refering to my withcy ancestory and higher education in ancient times.
In my demonolgy course I would refer to #Cofnas and the likes as the devil and not Petra and trans people. So no worries there.
And who knows maybe i'll turn lead into gold 😉

Again, me with the somewhat provocative takes 😳😎😇

Does a digital or computational history of science and knowledge even exist as a field? 🤔

Alchemical and rosicrucian compendium, c. 1760, Mellon MS 110, General Collection, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University

A(nother) great book with a title that I don't think does it justice, but that must be me reading tangentially. But anyway a fantastic study of the medieval 'art-nature debate', and how the most valuable arts are perhaps not about making things by imposing forms but about helping nature along. Citing many Arab and European authors with very articulate views on bio-engineering, but then - say - seven centuries ago. Utterly fascinating.
