Many women were at the vanguard in the era of the scientific revolution, deeply invested in empirical culture, yet their names are largely unknown. Ray's study begins with Caterina Sforza's alchemical recipes; examines the sixteenth-century vogue for "books of secrets"; and looks at narratives of science in works by Moderata Fonte and Lucrezia Marinella. It concludes with Camilla Erculiani's letters on natural philosophy and, finally, Margherita Sarrocchi's defense of Galileo's "Medicean" stars. Her book rethinks early modern science, properly reintroducing the integral and essential work of women. "The era of the Scientific Revolution has long been epitomized by Galileo. Yet many women were at its vanguard, deeply invested in empirical culture. They experimented with medicine and practical alchemy at home, at court, and through collaborative networks of practitioners. In academies, salons, and correspondence, they debated cosmological discoveries; in their literary production, they used their knowledge of natural philosophy to argue for their intellectual equality to men. Meredith Ray restores the work of these women to our understanding of early modern scientific culture. Her study begins with Caterina Sforza's alchemical recipes; examines the sixteenth-century vogue for "books of secrets"; and looks at narratives of science in works by Moderata Fonte and Lucrezia Marinella. It concludes with Camilla Erculiani's letters on natural philosophy and, finally, Margherita Sarrocchi's defense of Galileo's "Medicean" stars. Combining literary and cultural analysis, Daughters of Alchemy contributes to the emerging scholarship on the variegated nature of scientific practice in the early modern era. Drawing on a range of under-studied material including new analyses of the Sarrocchi-Galileo correspondence and a previously unavailable manuscript of Sforza's Experimenti, Ray's book rethinks early modern science, properly reintroducing the integral and essential work of women." -- Publisher's description

Noch vor kurzem erschien es kaum denkbar, dass in der westlichen Welt Konflikte entstehen könnten, die an längst vergangene Religionskriege erinnern. Der längere Zeit aus dem Theoriegespräch verschwundene Begriff der Toleranz hat sich hier als ein Konzept angeboten, mit dem nach einem Ausgleich der kulturellen Gegensätze gesucht werden kann. Hier wird nicht selten nach einer Begriffsbestimmung mit größerer historischer Reichweite gesucht. Eine historische Vergewisserung ist notwendig, da Ansätze zur Lösung der sich gegenwärtig stellenden Probleme noch immer in der auf die Frühe Neuzeit zurückgehenden naturrechtlich-politischen Diskussion und Begriffsgeschichte zu finden sind. Die Kriterien zur Rechtfertigung von Toleranz lassen sich aus den Konzeptionen entwickeln und an den Argumenten prüfen, die seit der Reformation die Auseinandersetzung über die Duldung fremder Konfessionen bestimmt haben. Auch die Grenzen der Toleranz und die mit dem Begriff verbundenen Paradoxien lassen sich vor diesem Hintergrund erörtern, wie die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge zeigen.
