Our next exhibit, "Through a Glass Darkly: Alchemy and the Ripley Scrolls 1400-1700,” opens tomorrow, April 6! The exhibit is open to students, staff, faculty, researcher and the general public. The Ripley Scrolls are spectacular, emblematic manuscripts, named after the famous English alchemist George Ripley. Two of the surviving 23 Scrolls are held by PUL. The Scrolls played a central role in the transmission of alchemical knowledge. The exhibition’s title, “Through a Glass Darkly” (from the New Testament, 1 Corinthians 13:12), underscores the importance of examining alchemy more deeply than a superficial and imperfectly reflected mirror image, as though seen through a looking-glass. Instead, one must engage with alchemy by examining its historical practices and allegorical imagery. #MedievalHistory #SpecialCollections #RipleyScrolls #Alchemy #Archives #PrincetonUniversity #PULibrary
