Descripción del artículo del vendedor

OKart. (laminiert), 869 Seiten mit farbigen Abb., 22 x 26,5 cm, neu, originalverpackt. Sprache: englisch || It is difficult to think of a subject in Bohemian and Central European history in the early modern age less popular and still today so little understood as that of alchemy associated with the reign of the Emperor Rudolf II (1552-1612). The blame for this can by no means be laid solely at the door of the well-known film from the early 1950s, for it only took over the oversimplified picture of 'Rudolfine alchemy' as it was developed in Czech and German historiography in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th. This picture mixed legends with facts that could be historically documented, and which were consequently and frequently interpreted incorrectly. It was not until the 1970s that the situation started to change, when a renewed interest in Mannerism and Rudolfine art led historians to examine other areas of Rudolfine culture, and therefore alchemy, too, which was a significant part of that culture. This interest was naturally accompanied by historians looking at alchemy itself in a different way, no longer seeing it simply as a predecessor of modern chemistry - and thus as a subject reserved for the field of history of science - and starting to study it as a complex and significant cultural-historical and social phenomenon connected with other disciplines, technologies, and areas of the life of society, including not only medicine, mining and metallurgy, but also religion, visual art, and the representation of the nobility. This publication deals both with activities that were directly supported by Emperor Rudolf II, and also those that developed in the broader social circle connected with the imperial court. This extended beyond the Czech lands to Austria and many parts of the Holy Roman Empire. The theme under consideration is primarily delimited by the period of the reign of Rudolf II, from 1576 to 1612, but for a proper understanding of the context it is also essential to refer to the development of alchemical research in Central Europe roughly from the beginning of the 16th century, and it is likewise important to follow its repercussions in the 17th century. Book Language/s: English.
