Medieval Alchemy in Hebrew: A Noted Absence - Paul Ferguson - 04-21-2026
Gad Freudenthal, “Medieval Alchemy in Hebrew: A Noted Absence,” in Gad Freudenthal, ed., Science in Medieval Jewish Cultures (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2011), 343-358
"The full history of alchemy in Arabic and Hebrew remains to be written; the following remarks are no more than a few signposts. 3 It hardly needs saying that alchemy was a flourishing discipline in the Arabophone cultural area, both on the level of practice and on that of theory. 4 I begin with a short account of what we know of Jewish practice of alchemy in Islamic cultural contexts."
