Ich hatte zwei tolles Tage auf der Konferenz ‘Alchemisches Wissen & praktisches Laborien’ in der Franckeschen Stiftungen. Das Zusammentreffen von Kolleg/innen, die sich mit verschiedenen Aspekten der Alchemie befassen, zeigte das Fruchtbarkeit der Zusammenarbeit. (weiteres Highlight = Wunderkammer!)
