Workshop and Symposium on Greek Alchemy
Dear colleagues,
The final Workshop
and Symposium on "Greek alchemy: From the late Antiquity to the early
Modernity" will be held in Athens, at the National Hellenic Research
Foundation, from the 25th to the 27th of June 2015.
At the Workshop,
the following themes will be discussed:
·
Catalogue of Greek
alchemical manuscripts and the inventory of manuscripts containing Greek texts
that are relevant to alchemy.
·
Relationships between
alchemy and natural philosophy in Byzantine times, and the mutations of alchemy
and the development of ‘chymistry’ in the post-Byzantine era.
·
Educational applications
of the historical material and on the reproduction of alchemical procedures.
The Workshop will
be followed by the Symposium "Greek alchemy: From the late Antiquity to
the early Modernity".
Best wishes,
The Dacalbo Team
