by Lawrence Principe (Author)
Presents a provocative view of Robert Boyle (1627-1691), one of the leading figures of the Scientific Revolution, by revealing his avid and lifelong pursuit of alchemy. This title shows that his alchemical quest positions him more accurately in the intellectual and cultural crossroads of the seventeenth century.
