Summary "In Giovanni Aurelio Augurello (1441-1524) and Renaissance Alchemy, Matteo Soranzo offers the first in-depth study of the life and works of Augurello, Italian alchemist, poet and art connoisseur from the time of Giorgione. Analysed, annotated and translated in English for the first time, Augurello's poetry reveals a unique blend of Late Medieval alchemical doctrines, Northern Italian antiquarianism and Marsilio Ficino's Platonism, enriching conventional narratives of Renaissance humanism"
