Though twelfth-century Latin alchemy had largely been concerned with transmuting base metals into noble ones, Bacon believed that the natural principles taught in alchemy would be better used in medicine. In an age where many physicians were theorizing about ways to prevent the effects of aging, Bacon held that combining alchemy and humoral medicine would allow one to extend their life by decades, even centuries. By examining Bacon’s alchemical, medical, and mathematical works, this book argues that Bacon combined a number of sources to create a unique plan for prolonging human life. His understanding of disease and aging was ultimately Galenic in nature, and his understanding of how pharmaceuticals work can be traced back to his mathematical theories, especially that of the multiplication of species. The book provides a new system for organizing Bacon’s alchemically-produced medicines, and explains what Bacon saw as the difference between each, and how they could have different | | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | | 关键词 | Alchemy; History of alchemy; Medieval medical writings; Roger Bacon; Franciscan; History of religion; Thir | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-12898-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-12900-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-12898-1Series ISSN 2524-7387 Series E-ISSN 2524-7395 | | issn_series | 2524-7387 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
