Alchemical Metaphors and Practices
#1
Another contribution from the Lowens Fellows.

"Gendered and biological metaphors occur frequently in alchemical poems. At first glance, they may appear confusing to twenty-first-century readers, especially compared to dry modern scientific texts. However, they were acceptable and useful for early modern alchemists."
