"George Ripley, Canon of Bridlington (ca. 1415 to ca. 1490) was one ofEngland’s most famous alchemists, whose alchemical opera attracted study and commentary throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,and were printed and translated both in England and abroad. Yet Ripley’s frequently baffling texts have proved resistant to scholarly interpretation.This paper attempts to unravel some of Ripley’s alchemical theories and practice, firstly by identifying his major sources, and secondly by gauginghis response to these texts."
