- Resum
- The Epistola super quinta essentia (1552) addresed to Dr. Manresa by Luis de Centelles is an example of the alchemical debate between Spanish alchemists. We will try to to establish the sources of the text and its main topics. The author perpetuates themes and forms of the medieval treatises (materia prima, humidum radicale, etc.). He try to find an accord between alchemical theories and the philosophical models established by Aristotle. At the same time, it will be useful to exmine the Epistola under a sociological perspective, because of the personal disputes between Manresa and Centelles. Their debates and hard discussions, sometimes offensives and unsuitables, reveal enormously diverse understandings of what the “real” alchemy was for renaissance alchemists.
