"Written by alchemist Michael Maier in 1618, Atalanta Fugiens reinterprets Ovid’s legend of Atalanta as an alchemical allegory in a series of fifty emblems. This remarkable book has recently been reimagined in multimedia form as Furnace and Fugue, a digital critical edition that allows contemporary readers to hear, see, manipulate, and investigate Atalanta Fugiens in ways that were impossible to realize in full before now. How was Atalanta Fugiens imagined by its 17th-century author and reimagined in Furnace and Fugue? What secrets are unlocked when we look at an old book in a new way? These are just some of the topics we tackled during our Alchemical Happy Hour on October 29, 2020."

"While Isaac Newton’s status as one of the very greatest of modern scientists has never been in question, some scientists and scholars have worried that his pursuits were at times antithetical to the standards of untainted reason commonly associated with science. Concerns about Newton’s commitment to rational inquiry in his study of nature were first made widely public in the middle of the twentieth century, after the economist and Newton aficionado John Maynard Keynes had acquired at auction a large number of Newton’s papers dealing with alchemy."

" Focussing on astrology, natural magic and alchemy, and their modern counterparts, astronomy, experimental science and chemistry, the dissertation shows that the reception of Ovid in these domains exhibits a complex interplay of rejection and appropriation, both within and between different philosophers, which replays the dynamics of the reception of fiction exposed within the original poem. Ovid’s poem thus functioned historically as a crucial site for debate about the role of fiction in scientific method, and affords valuable insights into disputes between realist and anti-realist philosophers of science that continue to generate controversy."

"The creation and manipulation of infinite images is central to Bruno' s thought, but to the best of my knowledge, this has never been properly treated before. This
project is a departure from much of the current scholarship on Bruno which has focused on his contribution to scientific thought, and downplayed or ignored the
Hermetic and magical elements which pervade his work. Each chapter deals with different works of Bruno, and different aspects of his philosophy, and each is rooted
in the larger project of uncovering the role, meaning, and application of images in Bruno' s thought."
