1660 Guido Panciroli Memorabilium Discoveries in America Inventions ALCHEMY

 

Guido Panciorli was a 16^th-century Italian historian known for his most popular book ‘Memorabilium’ – a work which gives a general account of inventions and technology in Europe as well as discoveries in America. Bigmore & Wyman claim that the frontispiece, which depicts a printer’s room, was used as proof in the discussion that in the early days of typography it was customary to employ anagnostes. According to Ferguson,

“Pancirollo’s work is interesting, not only as giving some notion of the state of knowledge as to the history of invention in his time, bus as displaying the attitude of scholars towards the practical arts of the ancient.”

 

This work has an important section on alchemy and pseudo-science findings.
