Beskrivelse af The Red Book of Appin and Remarks Upon Alchemy and the Alchemists
The Red Book of Appin and Remarks upon Alchemy and the Alchemists by Ethan Allen Hitchcock is a book that combines two distinct subjects. The first part of the book, The Red Book of Appin, is a collection of Scottish Gaelic poems and prayers that were recorded in a manuscript that dates back to the 16th century. This section of the book includes translations of the poems into English, as well as notes on their origins and meanings.The second part of the book, Remarks upon Alchemy and the Alchemists, is a treatise on the history and practice of alchemy. Hitchcock provides a detailed overview of the principles of alchemy, as well as descriptions of the various tools and substances used in alchemical experiments. He also discusses the lives and work of famous alchemists throughout history, including Paracelsus, Roger Bacon, and Isaac Newton.Overall, The Red Book of Appin and Remarks upon Alchemy and the Alchemists is a fascinating exploration of two very different subjects.
