Principe: Transmutations of Chymistry (Synthesis)
This book reevaluates the changes to chymistry that took place from 1660 to 1730 through a close study of the chymist Wilhelm Homberg (1653&;1715) and the changing fortunes of his discipline at the Académie Royale des Sciences, France&;s official scientific body. By charting Homberg&;s remarkable life from Java to France&;s royal court, and his endeavor to create a comprehensive theory of chymistry (including alchemical transmutation), Lawrence M. Principe reveals the period&;s significance and reassesses its place in the broader sweep of the history of science. Principe, the leading authority on the subject, recounts how Homberg&;s radical vision promoted chymistry as the most powerful and reliable means of understanding the natural world. Homberg&;s work at the Académie and in collaboration with the future regent, Philippe II d&;Orléans, as revealed by a wealth of newly uncovered documents, provides surprising new insights into the broader changes chymistry underwent during, and immediately after, Homberg. A human, disciplinary, and institutional biography, The Transmutations of Chymistry significantly revises what was previously known about the contours of chymistry and scientific institutions in the early eighteenth century.
