  Alchemy in Russian Literature
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-08-2023, 09:13 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"This article is devoted to the subject of alchemy in Russian literature, investigating which
writers were interested in it and how it was developed in Russia. Prominent Russian authors’
poetic and prosaic writings have been perused throughout the research paper and it is believed
that the images of alchemists portrayed by Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, Alexander
Herzen, Nikolai Ogarev, Alexei Tolstoy, and Mikhail Bulgakov were of European origin."

  The Melissinos Rite
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-08-2023, 05:50 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

An alchemical masonic Rite.

"There was a long tradition of magic and alchemy in Russia and in spite [of] the barriers of foreign contamination set up by the Orthodox Church, occult literature was not unknown. The pseudo–Aristotelian Secretum Secretorum, with its alchemical and astrological elements, was known in Russia probably by the end of the nineteenth century and there were copies in the libraries of many Tsars."

  Russian Manuscript - Book of the Holy Trinity
Posted by: Adam McLean - 06-08-2023, 09:48 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - Replies (2)

There is a manuscript version of the Book of the Holy Trinity in a Russian library with coloured drawings. It is dated to 1488.
The text is in German with some Latin, so it is likely copied from one of the German originals.
Russian State Library  F.183.1 №930.
