adj.
of alchemy, pertaining to a medieval form of chemistry which focused on the transmutation of base metals into gold
Alchemy
In the
history of science, alchemy (
Arabic: الخيمياء, al-khimia) refers to both an early form of the investigation of
nature and an early
philosophical and
spiritual discipline, both combining elements of
chemistry,
metallurgy,
physics,
medicine,
astrology,
semiotics,
mysticism,
spiritualism, and
art all as parts of one greater force. Alchemy has been practiced in
Mesopotamia,
Ancient Egypt,
Persia,
India, and
China, in
Classical Greece and
Rome, in the
Muslim civilization, and then in
Europe up to the 19th century—in a complex
network of schools and philosophical systems spanning at least 2500 years.
