In exploring the varieties of natural knowledge in the early modern era, the authors pay tribute to the work of Allen Debus, whose own endeavors cleared the way for scholars to examine subjects that were once snubbed as suitable only to the refuse heap of the history of science." |

That looks interesting. My own researches have taken me into the thicket of Paracelsian alchemy/ medicine and beyond, so the more discussions of it I can find the better. |
