Another gigantic French site with, I suspect, the usual 'borrowings'.

  Videos: Reconstructing Indian alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-30-2023, 03:05 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

This is the Youtube channel of the AyurYog project "Medicine, Immortality, Moksha: Entangled Histories of Yoga, Ayurveda and Alchemy in South Asia". The project examines the histories of yoga, ayurveda and rasaśāstra (Indian alchemy and iatrochemistry) from the tenth century to the present, focussing on the disciplines' health, rejuvenation and longevity practices. The goals of the project are to reveal the entanglements of these historical traditions, and to trace the trajectories of their evolution as components of today's global healthcare and personal development industries.

Two volumes in one. The second contains translations of eight alchemical texts previously unavailable in French, including 'un texte majeur de Zozime de Panopolis, intitulé le Livre des Icônes, découvert récemment en langue arabe, le Livre des Connaissances acquises sur la culture de l’Or d’Al-‘Irāqī, le Livre du Secret des secrets d’Al-Rāzī, ainsi que les Pépites d'Or d’Ibn Arfa’', and others.

Interesting, but perhaps over-interpreted view of the 'Salt-Lion' church in Belgium:

  Museum of Alchemy in Prague
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-30-2023, 07:22 AM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - Replies (2)

The newly opened alchemical laboratories were discovered during the reconstruction of one of the oldest historical buildings in Prague on the street Haštalská number 1. This building is listed by UNESCO and by miracle this one has been preserved after the demolition of the Jewish quarter at the end of 19th century.
