Roger Bacon's place in the history of alchemy / by Edmund Brehm.
Abstract:
A reassessment of Bacon's role in the history of alchemy, which has been exaggerated by many modern scholars. The author concludes that Bacon's formulation of the relationship between alchemy and the elixir and Christian morality and salvation is an important link between the ancient soteriological tradition of alchemy and the first blossoming of the Art in Europe during the 14th century
