Published 1602, <a href="/wiki/Oberursel" class="mw-redirect" title="Oberursel">Oberursel</a> by Lazarus Zetzner.</figcaption></figure> Theatrum Chemicum ("Chemical Theatre") is a <a href="/wiki/Compendium" title="Compendium">compendium</a> of early alchemical writings published in six volumes over the course of six decades. The first three volumes were published in 1602, while the final sixth volume was published in its entirety in 1661. Theatrum Chemicum remains the most comprehensive collective work on the subject of <a href="/wiki/Alchemy" title="Alchemy">alchemy</a> ever published in the <a href="/wiki/Western_world" title="Western world">Western world</a>.<a href="#cite_note-electronicum-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-SHAC-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> The full title of the work is Theatrum Chemicum, præcipuos selectorum auctorum tractatus de Chemiæ et Lapidis Philosophici Antiquitate, veritate, jure præstantia, et operationibus continens in gratiam veræ Chemiæ et Medicinæ Chemicæ Studiosorum (ut qui uberrimam unde optimorum remediorum messem facere poterunt) congestum et in quatuor partes seu volumina digestum,<a href="#cite_note-TitleTranslation-4">[* 1]</a> though later volumes express slightly modified titles. For the sake of brevity, the work is most often referred to simply as Theatrum Chemicum. All volumes of the work, with exception of the last two volumes, were published by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Lazarus_Zetzner&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Lazarus Zetzner (page does not exist)">Lazarus Zetzner</a> in <a href="/wiki/Oberursel" class="mw-redirect" title="Oberursel">Oberursel</a> and <a href="/wiki/Argentorate" class="mw-redirect" title="Argentorate">Strasbourg, France</a>. The final two volumes were published posthumously by Zetzner's heirs, who continued to use his name for publication purposes.<a href="#cite_note-Investigation-5">[4]</a> The volumes are in actuality a collection of previously published and unpublished alchemical treatises, essays, poems, notes, and writings from various sources, some of which are attributed to known writers and others remain anonymous. Despite Zetzner acting primarily as publisher and editor, many of the contents are not believed to have been written by him. However, because the Theatrum Chemicum was more widely disseminated in comparison to most alchemical texts of the era, and its text was in the universal <a href="/wiki/Latin_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Latin language">Latin</a> used by most scholars of the time, Zetzner is often cited as the author of many early alchemical texts which he in fact did not compose. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Theatrum_Chemicum&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History">edit</a>]</div> Theatrum Chemicum developed as an evolution of previous alchemical printing projects dating back as early as 1475, when a handful of writings believed to have been written by <a href="/wiki/J%C4%81bir_ibn_Hayy%C4%81n" class="mw-redirect" title="Jābir ibn Hayyān">Geber</a> (or <a href="/wiki/Pseudo-Geber" title="Pseudo-Geber">pseudo-Geber</a>) were printed with attached alchemical poems and circulated in the area of <a href="/wiki/Venice" title="Venice">Venice</a>, and then a decade later in <a href="/wiki/Rome" title="Rome">Rome</a>.<a href="#cite_note-electronicum-1">[1]</a> A more directly related ancestor of Theatrum Chemicum was a publication by <a href="/wiki/Johannes_Petreius" title="Johannes Petreius">Johannes Petreius</a> entitled "<a href="/wiki/De_Alchemia" title="De Alchemia">De Alchemia</a>", a work which contained ten alchemical tracts, which was published in <a href="/wiki/Nuremberg" title="Nuremberg">Nuremberg</a> in 1541. Petreius had been collecting alchemical documents with the intention of publishing a more complete compilation, though he never completed this task. Upon Petreius's death his collection came into the possession of his relative, <a href="/wiki/Heinrich_Petri" title="Heinrich Petri">Heinrich Petri</a> of <a href="/wiki/Basel" title="Basel">Basel</a> who published it in cooperation with <a href="/wiki/Pietro_Perna" title="Pietro Perna">Pietro Perna</a> and <a href="/wiki/Guglielmo_Gratarolo" title="Guglielmo Gratarolo">Guglielmo Gratarolo</a> in 1561. By this time the collection had accrued a total of 53 texts and was published under the name, <a href="/wiki/Guglielmo_Gratarolo#Verae_alchemiae_artisque_metallica" title="Guglielmo Gratarolo">Verae alchemiae artisque metallicae, citra aenigmata, doctrina</a>. Though Petri would continue to publish alchemical works, it was his partner Perna who in 1572 published an entire series of expanded publications totaling seven volumes with over 80 texts. Perna intended to include the collection of his son-in-law, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Konrad_Waldkirch&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Konrad Waldkirch (page does not exist)">Konrad Waldkirch</a>, in an even larger multi-volume series, but instead sold the collection to Lazarus Zetzner. Zetzner would publish the newly acquired 80 texts and those of Waldkirch as the first volumes of Theatrum Chemicum. Over the course of the six volumes of Theatrum Chemicum, Zetzner expanded the collection to include over 200 alchemical tracts.<a href="#cite_note-electronicum-1">[1]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Publication">Publication</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Theatrum_Chemicum&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Publication">edit</a>]</div> Lazarus Zetzner (L. Zetzneri) published the Theatrum Chemicum in unsystematic editions, instead he reprinted issues of previous volumes that had appeared up to the date of the particular volume of Theatrum Chemicum as it was published.<a href="#cite_note-Investigation-5">[4]</a> The material is diverse, being intended as a single body of work containing all significant alchemical texts of its time. Though the Theatrum Chemicum is a book about alchemy, by its contemporary standards it represented a body of work that, in a modern context, is similar to texts such as <a href="/wiki/CRC_Press" title="CRC Press">The Handbook of Chemistry & Physics</a>, The <a href="/wiki/Physicians%27_Desk_Reference" title="Physicians' Desk Reference">Physicians' Desk Reference</a>, or other specialized texts for the practice and study of the sciences and philosophy, including medicine. The physician and philosopher <a href="/wiki/Sir_Thomas_Browne" class="mw-redirect" title="Sir Thomas Browne">Sir Thomas Browne</a> possessed a copy, while <a href="/wiki/Isaac_Newton" title="Isaac Newton">Isaac Newton</a> filled the margins of his copy with annotations. Within the various volumes are found some of the most studied works in the field of alchemy, such as <a href="/wiki/Turba_Philosophorum" title="Turba Philosophorum">Turba Philosophorum</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Arcanum_Philosophorum&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Arcanum Philosophorum (page does not exist)">Arcanum Philosophorum</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Cabala_Chemica&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Cabala Chemica (page does not exist)">Cabala Chemica</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=De_Ovo_Philosophorum&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="De Ovo Philosophorum (page does not exist)">De Ovo Philosophorum</a>, many tracts focused upon <a href="/wiki/Secretum_Secretorum" title="Secretum Secretorum">Secretum Secretorum</a>, <a href="/wiki/Philosopher%27s_stone" title="Philosopher's stone">The Philosopher's Stone</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Elixir_of_Life" class="mw-redirect" title="Elixir of Life">Elixir of Life</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Tabula_Smaragdina" class="mw-redirect" title="Tabula Smaragdina">Tabula Smaragdina</a>, and several works attributed to <a href="/wiki/Albertus_Magnus" title="Albertus Magnus">Albertus Magnus</a> and <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Aquinas" title="Thomas Aquinas">Thomas Aquinas</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Levity-6">[5]</a> The original publication dates of the specific writings found in the Theatrum Chemicum range from just a few years prior to each volume's publication, to as far back as several centuries in some cases. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Contents">Contents</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Theatrum_Chemicum&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Contents">edit</a>]</div> Establishing a precise table of contents for the various volumes of Theatrum Chemicum is an issue of debate amongst scholars. Because of the unstandardized nature of early publication practices and the reprinting of tracts from earlier editions, sometimes under their modified full "<a href="/wiki/Method_of_Elenchus" class="mw-redirect" title="Method of Elenchus">elenchus</a>" titles, those studying the contents of Theatrum Chemicum often encounter discrepancies in format, tract title, page number, and in some cases even authorship. For example, it is not clear whether some tracts that appear anonymous are in fact uniquely authored, or intended to be attributed to the author of the preceding text.<a href="#cite_note-electronicum-1">[1]</a> Some of the authorship proposed by Zetzner remains unverifiable due to the nature of publication, the various age of the works, and the practice of attributing authorship without modern methods of citation. Considering the esoteric nature of the subject matter, this was not uncommon at the time of Theatrum Chemicum's publication, but it does seem clear that Zetzner established the authorship of the various tracts according to his original source material. Below is a list of the tracts found within Theatrum Chemicum, and their authors as established by Zetzner.<a href="#cite_note-electronicum-1">[1]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Volumes_I-III">Volumes I-III</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Theatrum_Chemicum&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Volumes I-III">edit</a>]</div> The first three volumes of Theatrum Chemicum were published in 1602.

At the time of publication a reprinting of Volumes I-III was also issued. The reprinted editions are almost identical, though there are differences in details, such as page number, formatting, and minor rewording not affecting content. This often leads to differences in citations that use Theatrum Chemicum as a reference source. The single significant difference in the new editions is the inclusion of a tract in Volume 3 entitled "De magni lapidis sive benedicti compositione et operatione (Liber magiae generalis)" which is missing from the earlier editions.<a href="#cite_note-electronicum-1">[1]</a> With the additional tracts found in Volume IV, the total tracts grew to 143. <ul><li>Lazarus Zetzner, Praefatio ad lectorem (1613) (Introduction)</li> <li>Elenchus auctorum et tractatuum huius quarti voluminis (Table of Contents)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Raymundus_Lullus" class="mw-redirect" title="Raymundus Lullus">Raymundus Lullus</a>, Testamentum.

In 1652, <a href="/wiki/Elias_Ashmole" title="Elias Ashmole">Elias Ashmole</a> published a similarly entitled work by the name of <a href="/wiki/Theatrum_Chemicum_Britannicum" title="Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum">Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum</a> in London. The two works are related by subject, but are different in content. However, because of the printing date of Ashmole's work and the similar titles, the two compendiums are often confused. Then in 1702, <a href="/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Manget" title="Jean-Jacques Manget">Jean-Jacques Manget</a> produced in <a href="/wiki/Geneva" title="Geneva">Geneva</a> the second most comprehensive collection of alchemical tracts in his <a href="/wiki/Bibliotheca_Chemica_Curiosa" title="Bibliotheca Chemica Curiosa">Bibliotheca Chemica Curiosa</a> which represents a total of almost 140 tracts, of which 35 had already been included in Theatrum Chemicum. Another work, prepared by Friederich Roth-Scholtz, was entitled Deutsches Theatrum Chemicum. It was published in <a href="/wiki/Nuremberg" title="Nuremberg">Nuremberg</a> 1728-1732, and like Ashmole's work, it is related to Theatrum Chemicum in subject, but of different content. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Theatrum_Chemicum&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: References">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist reflist-columns references-column-width" style="column-width: 30em;"> <ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-electronicum-1">^ <a href="#cite_ref-electronicum_1-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-electronicum_1-1">b</a> <a href="#cite_ref-electronicum_1-2">c</a> <a href="#cite_ref-electronicum_1-3">d</a> <a href="#cite_ref-electronicum_1-4">e</a> <a href="#cite_ref-electronicum_1-5">f</a> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite id="CITEREFPrinke2005" class="citation web cs1">Prinke, Rafał T.
