Talk:Theatrum Chemicum

Table of Contents edit

I've decided to include in the article a list of the tracts found within each volume. As mentioned in the article, there appears to be some confusion amongst scholars (mostly in the details and editions) about a precise list. At this point I've stuck to just one cited ToC (Theatrum Chemicum Electronicum because it can be cross-checked with actual images), but by all means, please verify or cross-check with whatever source you are using and cite it as well. I know of at least three good sources for a contents list at the moment (included in Resources section), but it might get confusing to readers if we don't stick to just one format because of the way the tracts are organized by different sources. Anyway, I'm hoping this list will serve as a nice springboard to other alchemical texts and authors within WP. Please help me out with the internal links if you can, but try to avoid linking to anything that isn't a specific text by the specified author (preferred), or at least a generalized article about the subject of the tract (i.e. Tabula Smaragdina). If you know of an article that fits the work and I missed it, please link it in. Also remember that often the tract titles are abbreviated in common language or translated into English (i.e. Chemical Theatre) and I might have missed that too, so look for that as well. And of course, the authors are sometimes pen-names and spelled in variations. Other than that, please pick a tract or author and write a good article about them! --Trippz (talk) 16:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

The collected works of C.G. Jung cites this work many times and lists it contents albeit selectively. C.G.Jung is also recorded as travelling to India with the first volume of this work with him ! Norwikian (talk)
