The attitude of Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486-1535) towards alchemy / by Wolf Dieter Müller-Jahncke.
Abstract:
An analysis of his works and letters reveals that although in his youth Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim was not fundamentally opposed to the transmutation of metals, he later treated with mockery his friends who tried to make gold. Though he believed in the theory of elementary change, he denied its practical application in the transmutation of metals to silver or gold
