These were circulated and received in association with each other until the mid-seventeenth century, when a number of them appeared in Elias Ashmole?s Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum . These editions are the first to make this previously unidentified corpus available to researchers. The accompanying studies discover the complex histories of these alchemica , in plain and illuminated manuscripts, as anonyma and in attribution to famous authors, and in private and institutional, medical and academic book collections. Together, they offer novel insights into the role of alchemy and poetry in late medieval and early modern England. 410 0$aHistory of science and medicine library ;$vv. 42. 410 0$aHistory of science and medicine library.$pMedieval and early modern science ;$vv. 21. 606 $aAlchemy$vSources 606 $aManuscripts, English (Middle) 610 $aHistory 610 $aAlchemy 610 $aEarly modern period 610 $aManuscript 610 $aMiddle English 610 $aPoetry 610 $aRichard Carpenter (musician) 610 $aSpain 615 0$aAlchemy 615 0$aManuscripts, English (Middle) 676 $a540.1/12 700 $aTimmermann$b Anke$0802520 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910138996603321 996 $aVerse and transmutation$92158308 997 $aUNINA
