At their core, both traditions are united in their pursuit of knowledge and transformation, aiming not just for an understanding of the universe’s workings but for a profound, intimate union with the Divine.

  RSC Advances: Artificial vitriols

Artificial vitriols: a contemporary interpretation of historical ingredients[url=https://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2024/RA/D4RA01896F#fn1][/url]

Giacomo Montanari

"Vitriol” is a term that appeared during the Middle-Ages to indicate a wide range of ingredients widely used both in medicinal and alchemical recipes. Green, blue, or white vitriols are easily associated with iron(II), copper(II), and zinc sulphate respectively thanks to the historical sources composed in the time period when the ancient and modern nomenclatures overlapped. However, other colours of vitriols are attested throughout history, such as yellow, red, or black. The identification of these compounds is significantly less straightforward, and often chalked up to Decknamen (code names) or unspecified impure ores. Moreover, from several sources it is apparent that some of these compounds are artificial, or at least the result of technical operations rather than mineral ores used as they are. By thermal manipulation of iron(II) sulphate, we managed to identify several compounds that fit with historical descriptions, which were later characterized through XRPD. Moreover, by using a Kofler bench and variable temperature XRPD, we were able to further investigate the transitions between these phases.
