- W4313446130 abstract "This chapter describes Bacon’s central thesis about the ability of alchemy to prolong human life: that alchemy can create a body of equal complexion, or a corpus equale, in which the four elements, air, water, earth, and fire, are in perfect proportion by strength, and thus have no action on each other. Bacon wrote that according to Aristotle, the equality of elements in a body meant that there would be no action of one element upon the other, thus making the body incorruptible. Bacon believed that alchemy could teach a person how to make such a corpus equale, which could then pass its incorruptibility on to a human patient, using the multiplication of species. The corpus equale would balance the humors (blood, phlegm, bile, and melancholy) in the patient’s body, giving the patient an equal complexion of humors, approximating the resurrection body. Finally, Bacon believed a medicine made from such a corpus equale worked through the multiplication of species, that is, by using its virtue to enact a change in the potentiality of the matter forming the patient’s body." @default.
