Structure What is Alchemy? Classical elemental theories The Magnus Opum Turning a copper cent piece into gold?– a transmutation experiment

1. What is alchemy? Common disbelief: Only about creating gold Not only scientifical but also philosophical goals Main Goals: Transmutation of „base metals“ into „noble“ ones Creation of an elixir of immortality Creation of panaceas (remedy to cure all diseases) Creation of an alkahest (universal solvent) Perfection of human body and soul modern chemistry originated from achievements in alchemy The Alchemist in Search of the Philosopher‘s Stone by Joseph Wright (1771) (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/97/JosephWright-Alchemist.jpg)

2. Classical element theories Earliest theory: all things were formed of 4 elements with 2 primal states each Expansion of the theory: 8 elements; aether and the 3 principles were added for the creation of metal, materials have to go through the principles to gain different attributes Water Fire Earth Air Mercury Sulphur Salt

3. The Magnum Opus often referred as „The Great Work“ term for the process of creating the philosopher‘s stone from prime materia consists mainly of four phases Nigredo (blackness) Albedo (whiteness) Citrinitas (yellowness) Rubedo (redness) sometimes the phases were expanded by chemical steps like Dissolution or Calcination
