directly and filtered through the dark glass of Paracelsian and Helmontian doctrines. Finally, Anita Guerrini explores the teaching of chemistry at the English universities 1680-1730 to ascertain why it found no place in the statutory curricula. She concludes that students required an introduction to standard laboratory techniques and iatrochemical procedures rather than chemical theory, and that this discouraged the penetration of chemistry into natural philosophy. Except for the irregularities noted above, the articles in this volume are well researched and documented and constitute a welcome challenge to Nathan Sivin's evaluation of the history of alchemy as a moribund field of enquiry (Alchemy revisited: proceedings of the International Conference on the History of Alchemy at the University of Groningen, ed. Z R W M von Martels, Leiden, Brill, 1990, p. 4). Their breadth and depth reveal that much remains to be understood about the assimilation and assessment of chemical ideas in medieval and early modem Europe.
