The new article<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lute of Wisdom\u201d: Alchemy, the Body, and Medicine in the Material Renaissance<\/p>\n

by Umberto Veronesi (NOVA University of Lisbon) and Stefan Han\u00df (University of Manchester) has been now published open access in Nuncius: Journal of the Material and Visual History of Science<\/em> (Brill).<\/p>\n

This article is the first interdisciplinary study of excavated early modern lute, a paste that alchemists wrapped around vessels, contextualising its relevance for the history of science. Veronesi and Han\u00df explore the material epistemology of the alchemical laboratory by opening a conversation between archaeological sciences and the history of the body, medicine, and science.<\/p>\n

In an age that valued embodied epistemologies, Veronesi and Han\u00df argue, medicine mattered for cultures of making and affected alchemists\u2019 material practices.<\/p>\n

This article combines the scientific analysis of luted glass remains from the sixteenth-century Oberstockstall alchemical laboratory in Kirchberg am Wagram, Lower Austria, with the in-depth study of recipe collections, alchemical, botanical, medical, and metallurgical treatises, and visual sources.<\/p>\n

Based on this methodology, Veronesi and Han\u00df argue that the alchemist\u2019s material practices were strongly linked to early modern Paracelsian thought and medical understandings of the body. In methodological terms, this article shifts boundaries between historians, archaeologists, and materials scientists.<\/p>\n
