  • Andreas Libavius and the Transformation of Alchemy

    Allen G DebusARTICLEJournal of the History of…2007

    The past half century has seen a steadily increasing interest in early chemistry and its relation to medicine as well as the history of science in general. This has resulted in a reexamination of the meaning of alchemy and chemistry beyond the transmutation of base metals into fields as diverse as physiology and metallurgy. And while a considerable part of this scholarly effort has been directed to the work of Isaac Newton and Robert Boyle, other…

  • Secrets of Nature

    Allen G DebusARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2003

    This volume is a collection of eight essays. After an introductory chapter by the editors, pointing to the importance of the subject, there are two papers on Girolamo Cardano. First, Germana Ernst discusses Cardano's early rejection of Arabic authorities and his desire to return to the work of Ptolemy. This belief in ancient authority is reminiscent of the then-contemporary medical search for an uncorrupted Galen. Considered the greatest astrolog…

  • Antimony in Medical History

    Allen G DebusARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2000

    There is no doubt about the importance of antimony in early modern medicine. Although many chemically prepared medicines were introduced in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, antimony and its compounds caused more debate than any of the others. Indeed, the century from ca. 1560 to ca. 1660 has been termed the "Antimony War," a conflict that witnessed acrid confrontation between Galenists and iatrochemists. Although much has been written on …

  • Chemists, Physicians, and Changing Perspectives on the Scientific Revolution

    Allen G DebusARTICLEIsis1998Citada por: 9

    Positivism in the history of science and medicine was challenged by Walter Pagel more than fifty years ago. He sought to understand early modern figures such as Harvey, Paracelsus, and van Helmont by looking at all their work, including nonscientific material generally ignored by other scholars. Of special importance in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was the chemistry found in the writings of Paracelsus and his followers. These "chemical…

  • Chemistry and the universities in the seventeenth century

    Open AccessAllen Debus, Allen G DebusARTICLEEstudos Avançados1990Citada por: 1

    Chemistry at the University of Louvain in 1685 reflected more than a century of debate in European-learned circles (1). The followers of the Swiss-German reformer Paracelsus (1493-1541) had seen in chemistry -and alchemy -a new foundation for learning (2). Paracelsus had burned the Canon of Avicenna publically in 1527 at Basel and his followers rejected the Aristotelian-Galenic tradition of the universities. They saw little value in disputations …
