This H article will elaborate on these questions and thereby contribute to understandings of contemporary practices of biohacking through the lens of transhumanism. As we describe below, biohacking is a diverse and emergent movement that pulls people together in the joint enterprise of investigating the boundaries of what people can do on their own to learn more about their bodies. Intrinsic to this movement is the transhumanist idea that the human potential can develop beyond what we today acknowledge as bodily boundaries. Thus, transhumanist philosophies lend themselves well to deeper understandings of these phenomena.

  • And Some Other Medieval Names of the Philosophers' Stone
    A note on lapis philosophicus, lapis philosophorum, and some other medieval names of the philosophers’ stone The first occurrences of philosophres ston registered in the Middle English Dictionary are from non-technical poems of the end of the fourteenth century: the Confessio Amantis refers to “the parfit Elixir Of thilke philosophres Ston,” and the Canon’s Yeoman like­ wise refers to the goal of alchemy in the words “The philosophres stoon, Elixir clept, we sechen.” 1 The fact that Gower and Chaucer evidently expected their readers to under­ stand the term although there is no earlier evidence of its circulation in English suggests very strongly that those readers would have encountered it in another language: in this case evidently Latin. In accordance with its usual policy, MED had little to say about the etymology of the English lexical item: it noted that philosophre is “From OFfilosofe & L philosophusf but gave no indication that philosophres ston translated a Latin lexical item. Although there have been a number of discussions of Chaucer’s alchemical know­ ledge, these do not appear to ask where in post-classical Latin the etymon of philosophres ston is first attested. The object of this note is to explore some answers to that question. Their formula­ tion began with consultancy work for the third edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, generated in the course of the revision of the entry philosophers' stone.2 This was origi­ nally published in fascicle Ph-Piper of the first edition of OED, which appeared under the editorship of James Murray in June 1906.

  • Books, Gold and Elixir: Alchemy and Religious Orders in Early Modern Naples
    Books, Gold and Elixir: Alchemy and Religious Orders in Early Modern Naples Lorenza Gianfrancesco School of Humanities, University of Chichester, United Kingdom Department of History and Politics, College Lane, University of Chichester, Chichester, PO19 6PE Email: [email protected] Abstract During the early modern period Naples was a European centre of learning where a number of scholars engaged with alchemy. Variously perceived as a legitimate scientific practice or as a mendacious trick for gullible minds, alchemy engaged Neapolitan scholars in a dispute that involved members of the clergy. In this article I look at convents as research centres mainly engaged with medical alchemy. Specifically, I reconstruct the activity of the Dominican friar Tommaso d'Eremita. Upon his arrival at the Neapolitan convent of Santa Caterina a Formello in 1609, d'Eremita set up a laboratory where he spent years working on alchemical procedures in order to produce an elixir of life for the benefit of all. Beyond this charitable mission, I also argue that members of religious orders in Naples engaged with alchemy for different purposes. In so doing, I discuss the cases of some members of religious orders in Naples who practised chrysopoeia with the aim of producing artificial noble metals. Introduction 1 On 5 February 1640, the Franciscan father Crisanto of Naples “spontaneously appeared before the General Inquisitor.” He alleged that a fellow friar, whom he identified as Pietro, “possessed a powder which he had used many times.”1 That powerful substance, explained the Franciscan friar, “sent Pietro into ecstasy thus leaving him unconscious.” Crisanto also confessed that other friars living in a convent located in the outskirts of Naples “had made use of that ecstatic powder.”2 Although Crisanto did not reveal the powder's composition to the Inquisitor, it is possible that it may have been made from mandrake roots: a powerful drug that was widely used in conventual apothecary shops.
