Download or read book Alchemical Imagery in the Works of Quirinus Kuhlmann written by Eugene Kuzmin and published by . This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widely known chiliast thinker and German baroque poet Quirinus Kuhlmann (1651-1689) was interested in alchemy. His knowledge of the subject was based both on books and on personal acquaintance with many alchemists - some famous, some little known. Kuhlmann freely discussed his ideas with these adepts, and their theories may well have had a considerable influence on him. Similarly, Kuhlmann may have inspired certain alchemists, and thus traces a dialogue between literature and science during the Scientific Revolution -that period which saw the emergence of modern scientific nomenclature-can be found in Kuhlmann's writings. This work was originally planned as an attempt to solve the widely acknowledged problem found in studies of the Silesian baroque poet, Quirinus Kuhlmann - alchemy's impact on his works. Though the problem has been frequently noted, no special study has been made of it, and references to it have never been seriously explored. That Kuhlmann was interested in alchemy is generally accepted as a given, but without particular verification: though it is self-evident through Kuhlmann's references to known alchemists, the character and intensity of alchemy's influence on him remains unclear.

Book Synopsis Louis XIV Outside In by : Tony Claydon
Download or read book Louis XIV Outside In written by Tony Claydon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louis XIV - the ’Sun King’ - casts a long shadow over the history of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe. Yet while he has been the subject of numerous works, much of the scholarship remains firmly rooted within national frameworks and traditions. Thus in France Louis is still chiefly remembered for the splendid baroque culture his reign ushered in, and his political achievements in wielding together a strong centralised French state; whereas in England, the Netherlands and other protestant states, his memory is that of an aggressive military tyrant and persecutor of non-Catholics. In order to try to break free of such parochial strictures, this volume builds upon the approach of scholars such as Ragnhild Hatton who have attempted to situate Louis’ legacy within broader, pan-European context. But where Hatton focused primarily on geo-political themes, Louis XIV Outside In introduces current interests in cultural history, integrating aspects of artistic, literary and musical themes. In particular it examines the formulation and use of images of Louis XIV abroad, concentrating on Louis' neighbours in north west Europe. This broad geographical coverage demonstrates how images of Louis XIV were moulded by the polemical needs of people far from Versailles, and distorted from any French originals by the particular political and cultural circumstances of diverse nations. Because the French regime’s ability to control the public image of its leader was very limited, the collection highlights how - at least in the sphere of public presentation - his power was frequently denied, subverted, or appropriated to very different purposes, questioning the limits of his absolutism which has also been such a feature of recent work.
Book Synopsis The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz by : Joscelyn Godwin
Download or read book The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz written by Joscelyn Godwin and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 1991-10-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, often looked upon as the third Rosicrucian manifesto, has an entirely different tone from the other Rosicrucian documents. Unlike the Rosicrucian manifestoes, which address the transformation of society, The Chemical Wedding is concerned with the inner transformation of the soul. It is a deeply interior work, one which asks the reader to step into its world of symbols and walk with Christian Rosenkreutz along his path of transformation. Despite its importance as a key text of the Western esoteric traditions, this is the first ever contemporary English translation of The Chemical Wedding, made especially for this edition by Joscelyn Godwin. Also included in this edition is an introduction and commentary by Adam McLean, which illuminates the transformative symbolism.

Book Synopsis Athanasius Kircher by : Paula Findlen
Download or read book Athanasius Kircher written by Paula Findlen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2004.Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680) -- German Jesuit, occultist, polymath - was one of most curious figures in the history of science. He dabbled in all the mysteries of his time: the heavenly bodies, sound amplification, museology, botany, Asian languages, the pyramids of Egypt -- almost anything incompletely understood. Kircher coined the term electromagnetism, printed Sanskrit for the first time in a Western book, and built a famous museum collection. His wild, beautifully illustrated books are sometimes visionary, frequently wrong, and yet compelling documents in the history of ideas. They are being rediscovered in our own time. This volume contains new essays on Kircher and his world by leading historians and historians of science, including Stephen Jay Gould, Ingrid Rowland, Anthony Grafton, Daniel Stoltzenberg, Paula Findlen, and Barbara Stafford.-
