More about the book
Focusing on Wilhelm Homberg, this biography explores his pivotal role in the evolution of chymistry between the eras of Robert Boyle and Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier. Celebrated for his innovative, experimental approach, Homberg bridged traditional alchemy and modern chemistry while engaging in the pursuit of metallic transmutation. Lawrence M. Principe reveals new insights into Homberg's contributions at the Académie Royale, reshaping the understanding of chymistry and its institutional developments in the early eighteenth century.
