Theatrum Chemicum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Theatrum Chemicum is a compilation of chemical and alchemical literature that appeared from 1602. The sixth and last volume appeared in 1661. The editor was Lazarus Zetzner , the last two volumes were published by his heirs.

Title page of the first volume in the 1659 edition

The first four volumes appeared in Oberursel in 1602 (a second edition in Strasbourg in 1613), the subsequent volumes in Strasbourg (volume 5 in 1622 and all six volumes in the edition 1659 to 1661). The printed texts are partly reprints, but partly also first prints based on manuscripts. The texts are all in Latin, the scientific language of the time. Through the reprint, the writings, which are often only published in rare book copies, were made accessible to wide circles of scholars.

History and environment

The collection had a forerunner in the collection of 10 alchemical texts that Johannes Petreius published in Nuremberg as De Alchemia in 1541 (with a second edition in 1545). The editor was a Chrysogonus Polydorus, possibly a pseudonym of Andreas Osiander . In the appendix to the book, Petreius called on Alchemists to send him texts in exchange for books and also collected other texts for publication that came to a relative, the printer Sebastian Henricpetri (Henricus Petrus) in Basel , who shared them with Guglielmo Gratorolo (1516 –1568) as Verae alchemiae artisque metallicae, citra aenigmata, doctrina published. At the time it consisted of 53 texts.

Pietro Perna expanded this to over 80 texts, which he published in several volumes from 1572 onwards. Perna also published an Artis Auriferae (1572) (with the first edition of the Turba Philosophorum ), which his son-in-law Konrad Waldkirch reprinted in Basel in 1593 (a second edition appeared in 1610). They sold their collection to Zetzner. They formed the first volumes of the Theatrum Chemicum, which in the end grew to around 200 texts.

Later projects of this kind were the Bibliotheca Chemica Curiosa by Jean-Jacques Manget (Geneva 1702), which was partly reprinted from the Theatrum Chemicum, and for the English area the Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum by Elias Ashmole from 1652. An abridged German version by C. Horlacher from the Theatrum Chemicum or the Bibliotheca Chemica Curiosa appeared in 1707. The Theatrum Chemicum was also the basis of French and English editions of collections of alchemical texts.

Another project of this kind was the German Theatrum Chemicum by the bookseller, bibliographer and publisher Friedrich Roth-Scholtz (1687–1736), which appeared in Nuremberg in three volumes from 1728 to 1732 and contained 52 tracts in German. Smaller collections were e.g. B. the popular Musaeum Hermeticum (1625, 1678).

The work is related to the efforts of various authors of the Paracelsus successor who wanted to reconcile the classical direction of alchemical metal transformation, for which important key texts are presented here, with Paracelsian alchemy. Paracelsus was less interested in metal conversion than in applications in medicine ( iatrochemistry ), represented in the introductory papers to the first volume by Thomas Muffet (writings by Paracelsus himself are not included, but were also printed by Zetzner). Robert Duval's introductory paper is a kind of early history of chemistry.

The edition of 1659–61 was in the library of Isaac Newton , who left numerous notes, especially in volumes 3 and 5.
