EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases a rare manuscript from the 18th century. Created by renowned scientist Isaac Newton, this pen and ink masterpiece measures 30.5x18.6 cm and is currently housed at The University of St. Andrews in Scotland. This intriguing artwork belongs to a collection of manuscripts on alchemy, shedding light on Newton's lesser-known interests beyond his groundbreaking contributions to physics and mathematics. With its esoteric symbols and scientific annotations, it offers a glimpse into the world of pseudo-science during that era. The meticulous handwriting and hermetic illustrations within this manuscript reveal the occult practices pursued by alchemists centuries ago. It serves as a testament to their relentless pursuit of knowledge through experimentation, even if some aspects were considered pseudoscientific today. Acquired for the university by Professor John Read in 1923, this valuable piece was later transferred to the custody of eUniversity of St. Andrews Library in 1989 for preservation and scholarly study. As you delve into this image, let your imagination wander through time as you explore the enigmatic notes, drawings, and experiments meticulously recorded by Newton himself. "The Hunting of the Green Lyon" invites us to unravel secrets hidden within its pages while celebrating both artistry and scientific curiosity from centuries past.
