Alchemy and Exegesis from Antioch to Constantinople, - Paul Ferguson - 10-01-2023

Alexandre Mattos Roberts

"This dissertation examines how scholars in eleventh-century Constantinople and Antioch (under Byzantine rule, 969-1084) understood matter and its transformation. It argues that matter, a concept inherited from ancient philosophy, continued to be a fertile and malleable idea-complex endowed with cultural and religious meaning in medieval thought-worlds of the Eastern Mediterranean."
