Iโ€™m excited to join #printersolstice - the element themes are a great fit for science stories I want to tell. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿงช๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ #histsci But I have no time to carve now, so until I can catch up, hereโ€™s the earliest recorded #alchemist for โ€œgoldโ€: Mary the Jewess (aka Maria Hebraea, Miriam, or Maria Prophetissa).๐Ÿงต
My linocut portrait โ€˜Mary the Jewess, Mother of Alchemyโ€™ with 3 devices attributed to her: the bain-marie (essentially a double boiler, shown as a large round brick furnace complete with orange flames, water bath and vessels), the kerotakis (which allowed one to heat items while collecting vapors, shown as a diagram with tube, with orange flames, below a heated substance, grill and a dome on top) and the tribikos (a kind of alembic with three arms that was used to obtain substances purified by distillation, here like a smaller bain-marie complete with orange flames in furnace, heated vessel and 3 arms to 3 alembics). Mary herself is printed in a gradient of purple to bronze to purple (top to bottom) on ivory paper. She is a Hellenistic Jew, dressed in a draped Classical style dress and wears a veil over her long hair. Her clothing was the frescos of the Dura-Europos synagogue built in Syria in 244 CE.
