Alchimie et paracelsisme en France à la fin de la Renaissance (1567-1625)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Derriere l’imagerie populaire de l’alchimiste assis au secret de son fourneau, il y eut jadis des etres de chair. Qui etaient ces hommes? Comment vivaient-ils? Quelle place tinrent-ils dans la societe et dans le monde intellectuel d’alors? Cette etude de la reception de l’alchimie et des doctrines de Paracelse en France s’attache a la production du livre alchimique et paracelsien et a l’histoire des nombreuses querelles que ce dernier provoque. On etablit chemin faisant la biographie de plusieurs alchimistes, tel Joseph Du Chesne ou Etienne de Clave, et l’on ruine la legende selon laquelle Descartes, de retour d’Allemagne, aurait ete suspecte de rosicrucianisme. L’ouvrage s’acheve sur la grande crise des annees 1620, o¹ une alchimie inclinant tantot au materialisme, tantot au pantheisme, est englobee par les apologetes chretiens dans leur condamnation du mouvement libertin. Alchimie et paracelsisme est le premier d’une serie de trois volumes, ou seront succssivement etudies les cercles alchimiques francais et le mecenat princier qui les favorisa, ainsi que les rapports entre science, religion et litterature dans la France alchimique de la fin de la Renaissance.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
