Bibliotheca Chemica V2 is a comprehensive reference book written by John Ferguson, which covers the history and development of chemistry from ancient times to the 19th century. This book is the second volume of a two-volume set, and it contains a collection of rare and valuable manuscripts, books, and treatises on chemistry, alchemy, and related subjects. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of chemistry. The first section includes a detailed history of alchemy, from its origins in ancient Egypt and Greece to its development in medieval Europe. The second section covers the emergence of modern chemistry in the 17th and 18th centuries, with a focus on the contributions of prominent scientists such as Robert Boyle, Antoine Lavoisier, and Joseph Priestley. The third section of the book is dedicated to the study of chemical processes and experiments, and it includes descriptions of various laboratory techniques and equipment used by chemists throughout history. The fourth section covers the practical applications of chemistry, including the use of chemicals in medicine, industry, and agriculture. Throughout the book, Ferguson provides detailed commentary and analysis of the texts and manuscripts included in the collection, offering insights into the historical and scientific significance of each work. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the history of chemistry and alchemy, as well as for anyone interested in the development of science and technology over time.Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766126374.
