The text presents a preliminary study of the textual tradition, the exegetic typologies, and the sources of a Byzantine alchemical lexicon (CAAG II 4,11-17,17). The lexicon is to be understood in the framework of the exegetical activity undertaken by late antique and Byzantine alchemical authors. The sources of a few entries may be identified with some alchemical texts preserved in Byzantine manuscripts (e.g. Ps.-Democritus) and by the Oriental tradition (e.g. Zosimus in Syriac translation).

Abstract
The text presents a preliminary study of the textual tradition, the exegetic typologies, and the sources of a Byzantine alchemical lexicon (CAAG II 4,11-17,17). The lexicon is to be understood in the framework of the exegetical activity undertaken by late antique and Byzantine alchemical authors. The sources of a few entries may be identified with some alchemical texts preserved in Byzantine manuscripts (e.g. Ps.-Democritus) and by the Oriental tradition (e.g. Zosimus in Syriac translation).File in questo prodotto:
