In this monumental work, Rafael Patai opens up a whole new space for cultural history by tracing Jewish alchemy from antiquity to the nineteenth century. So far there has been little interest in the important role played by Jews in chemistry.
Here, relying on a vast array of previously unexplored sources, Batay reveals that Jews were key players in what had been one of the most intellectual obsessions for centuries. Originally published in 1994.
