- Resum
- The recent renewal of studies on Medieval alchemy has stressed the important development of alchemical research which took place in Catalonia and Southern France at the very beginning of the fourteenth century. This renewal has in particular brought to light the strong link established between alchemy and medicine, by way of the idea of an «elixir», presented in the alchemical works attributed to Llull and Vilanova, where ideas from different sources (not only the older alchemical tradition, but also the authentic philosophy of Ramon Llull, the medical research of Arnau de Vilanova, and the ideas of Roger Bacon on the prolongation of life) were brought together. Although the actual authors of such central works as the Testamentum and the Rosarius are still unknown, the study of Catalan and Occitan alchemical texts written by semi-unknown authors, largely depending on the aforementioned works, is beginning to throw new light on this outstanding period of Western alchemy.
