Register or Login to view.The name 'alchemical herbals' is a misleading rendition of the name coined for these herbals by Ulisse Aldrovandi, who lived 1522-1605. He owned several of them and referred to them as 'plants of the alchemists'. I think he poses a great question actually, not just in terms of the herbals. Who were these alchemists? Moreover, what makes a text alchemical? RE: [split] "Plants of the Alchemists" - ReneZ - 25-09-2025 The main point is that Aldrovandi was not saying that the text should be alchemical. |
