The Alchemy of Light: Geometry and Optics in Late Renaissance Alchemical Illustration
Urszula Szulakowska
This re-examination of alchemical engravings of the late Renaissance uses an innovative semiotic method in analysing their geometrical and optical rhetorical devices. The images are contextualised within contemporary metaphysics, specifically, the discourse of light, and in Protestant reformism.
