The poisonous elements of alchemy; MERCURY; ARSENIC; ANTIMONY; LEAD; THALLIUM; Appendix; Glossary; Bibliography; Index; 330 8 $aMercury, arsenic, antimony, lead, and thallium can be lethal, as many a poisoner knew too well. Emsley explores the gruesome history of these elements and those who have succumbed to them in a fascinating narrative that weaves together stories of true crime, enduring historical mysteries, tragic accidents, and the science behind it all. The colourful cast includes ancient alchemists, kings, leaders, a pope, several great musicians, and a motley crew of murderers. Among the intriguing accounts is that of the 17th century poet Sir Thomas Overbury, who survived four attempts to poison him with mercury but died when given the poison in enema form - under whose direction remains uncertain. Here, too, is detailed the celebrated case of Florence Maybrick, convicted of poisoning her violent husband James with arsenic, but widely believed at the time to be innocent. The question of her guilt is still disputed. 410 0$aOxford scholarship online. 606 $aPoisoning 606 $aPoisons 606 $aToxicology 615 0$aPoisoning. 615 0$aPoisons. 615 0$aToxicology. 676 $a615.9 700 $aEmsley$b John$065919 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777042803321 996 $aThe elements of murder$93806064 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03841nam 2200697 450 001 9910825921603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8131-2747-5 010 $a0-8131-4827-8 035 $a(CKB)3710000000333812 035 $a(EBL)1914925 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001535048 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11875919 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001535048 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11497772 035 $a(PQKB)10430649 035 $a(OCoLC)903956486 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse43703 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1914925 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11011672 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL690663 035 $a(OCoLC)900344111 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1914925 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000333812 100 $a20150204h20032003 uy 1 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aAmadis of Gaul $ea novel of chivalry of the 14th century presumably first written in Spanish /$frevised and reworked by Garci Rodri?guez de Montalvo prior to 1505 ; translated from the putative princeps of Saragossa, 1508 by Edwin B.

Although its original author is unknown, it was probably written during the early fourteenth century. The first great bestseller of the age of printing, Amadis of Gaul was translated into dozens of languages and spawned sequels and imitators over the centuries. A handsome, valiant, and undefeatable knight, Amadis is perhaps best known today as Don Quixote's favorite knight-errant and model.
