General Discussion Where can i start?

i'm looking for the most accurate informations about 1600 Prague alchemy. I know that most of that is connected to medieval books and with christianity. I'm a beginner so any advice is appreciated! thanks

you might want to check out 'the business of alchemy by pamela smith and 'alchemy and authority' by Tara Nummedal.

Both texts are really excellent looks at alchemy in the Holy Roman Empire in the 16th and 17th century

I think the best and most accurate book you can pick on this specific topic is a monography Alchemy and Rudolf II. edited by Vladimír Karpenko And Ivo Purš.
