And when I look at who was in the alchemists' club at Rudolf's court, it also explains the heavy traces of use.
Of course that is all possible, also, Aga. And the story of Rudolf's Court is a fascinating one, and pivotal to the history of science, religion, and world history. I see that time as a sort of "nexus", in which the world was one way before it, then came out the other side very different. Well, there are many times like this, I suppose, but this is one of the most important... Rudolf II, Kepler, Brahe, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Queen Elizabeth, Drebbel, Christopher Marlowe, John Dee, Francis Bacon... and many more, all contributing to radical changes in religion, science, government, literature, language, art, society... the list goes on.
Rich.
