From van Helmont to Boyle. A study of the transmission of Helmontian chemical and medical theories in seventeenth-century England
British Journal for the History of Science 26 (3):303-334 (1993)
Abstract
Van Helmont's chemistry and medicine played a prominent part in the seventeenth-century opposition to Aristotelian natural philosophy and to Galenic medicine. Helmontian works, which rapidly achieved great notoriety all over Europe, gave rise to the most influential version of the chemical philosophy. Helmontian terms such as Archeus, Gas and Alkahest all became part of the accepted vocabulary of seventeenth-century science and medicineMy notes
