The editors present in this volume transcriptions of Starkey's texts, their translations, and valuable commentary for the modern reader. Dispelling the myth that alchemy was an irrational enterprise, this remarkable collection of laboratory notebooks and correspondence reveals the otherwise hidden methodologies of one of the seventeenth century's most influential alchemists. 606 $aAlchemists$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aAlchemists 676 $a540.112092 676 $a540/.1/12092 700 $aStarkey$b George$f1627-1665.$0887804 701 $aNewman$b William R.$f1955-$01866409 701 $aPrincipe$b Lawrence$01804279 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953742903321 996 $aAlchemical laboratory notebooks and correspondence$94477377 997 $aUNINA
