Abstract
The composition and way of production of Michael Maier's medicament Coelidonia, mentioned in his book De Medicina Regia et verè Heroica, Coelidonia, were inferred from indications in Maier's book Viatorium, hoc est, de montibus planetarum septem eu Metallorum. The substance was synthesized by the author in a modern laboratory. It is a lead oxychloride of brilliant yellow colour with a composition of approximately Pb7O6Cl2. The same substance was produced from the 1780s to at least 1825 as a pigment under the names of Patent Yellow, Turner's Yellow and Casseler Mineral-Gelb (Cassel Mineral Yellow).
迈克尔-迈尔（Michael Maier）在其著作《De Medicina Regia et verè Heroica, Coelidonia》中提到的薏苡仁药剂的成分和生产方法，是根据迈尔的著作《Viatorium, hoc est, de montibus planetarum septem eu Metallorum》中的描述推断出来的。这种物质是作者在现代实验室中合成的。它是一种呈亮黄色的氧氯化铅，成分约为 Pb7O6Cl2。从 17 世纪 80 年代到至少 1825 年，这种物质一直作为颜料生产，曾被命名为 Patent Yellow、Turner's Yellow 和 Casseler Mineral-Gelb（卡塞尔矿物黄）。
期刊介绍：
Ambix is an internationally recognised, peer-reviewed quarterly journal devoted to publishing high-quality, original research and book reviews in the intellectual, social and cultural history of alchemy and chemistry. It publishes studies, discussions, and primary sources relevant to the historical experience of all areas related to alchemy and chemistry covering all periods (ancient to modern) and geographical regions. Ambix publishes individual papers, focused thematic sections and larger special issues (either single or double and usually guest-edited). Topics covered by Ambix include, but are not limited to, interactions between alchemy and chemistry and other disciplines; chemical medicine and pharmacy; molecular sciences; practices allied to material, instrumental, institutional and visual cultures; environmental chemistry; the chemical industry; the appearance of alchemy and chemistry within popular culture; biographical and historiographical studies; and the study of issues related to gender, race, and colonial experience within the context of chemistry.
