    Thomas Wijck’s painted alchemical laboratories were celebrated in his day as "artful" and "ingenious." They fell into obscurity along with their subject, as alchemy came to be viewed as an occult art or a fool’s errand. But these unusual pictures challenge our understanding of early modern alchemy-and of the deeper relationship between chemical workshops and the artists who represented them. The work of artists, like the work of alchemists, contained intellectual-creative and manual-material aspects. Both alchemists and artists claimed a special status owing to their creative powers. Wijck’s formation of an artistic and professional identity around alchemical themes reveals his desire to explore this curious territory, and ultimately to demonstrate art’s superior claims to knowledge and mastery over nature. This book explores one artist’s transformation of alchemy and its materials into a reputation for virtuosity-and what his work can teach us about the experimental early modern world

    Gegenstand der vorgelegten Edition, Übersetzung und Untersuchungen ist das 1631 zu Straßburg in vier ,Büchern' (ca. 1600 Hexameter) erschienene alchemische Lehrepos des Arztes, Alchemikers und Apothekers Johannes Nicolaus Furichius (1602-1633). Diskurs- wie formgeschichtlich betrachtet ist der Autor den bedeutenden Vertretern einer teils weit über das Schrifttum der europäischen Renaissance hinausreichenden Literatur- und Wissenstradition zuzurechnen, welche sich von Plato und Aristoteles über Ariost und Ronsard, von den hermetischen Schriften und Neuplatonikern, antiken und humanistischen Kommentatoren zu zeitgenössischen Forschungsreisenden und den Paracelsisten erstreckt. An diesem in Aemulatio der ,Chrysopoeia' Augurellis verfaßten Carmen beeindrucken daher nicht nur die metrische Verarbeitung spagyrischer Fachliteratur sondern auch die narrativ-fiktionale Darstellung mythoalchemischer Exegese und Bildlichkeit in Verbindung mit Topoi von der Visionsliteratur bis zur Epik. Das solchermaßen weitgespannte inter- und paratextuelle Bezugsfeld nimmt der titelgebenden alchemisierten Proserpina-Mythos immer wieder zum Anlaß, auf wissenschaftlichen Diskussionen der Zeit zu rekurrieren
