Nosotros rechazamos todas las demás formas de purificar el mercurio, como aquellas que lo purifican mediante el vinagre, la sal, la orina, la cal viva, el vitriolo y otros corrosivos que destruyen la humedad del mercurio en lugar de exaltarla, y que más que ser útiles, estorban." Indice Alquimia en la Edad Media Según aquellos alquimistas, una sustancia puede transformarse en otra simplemente añadiendo y sustrayendo elementos en las propiedades adecuadas. Un metal como el plomo, por ejemplo, podía transformarse en oro agregándole una cantidad exacta de mercurio. Durante siglos prosiguió la búsqueda de la técnica adecuada para convertir en oro un "metal base" y en esto se basó toda la alquimia medieval. En este proceso, los alquimistas descubrieron sustancias mucho más importantes que el oro, tales como los ácidos minerales y el fósforo.

    Extractions: Charlemagne Charlemagne's name is really Charles le Magne, or Charles the Great. In German they call him Karl der Grosse, which also means Charles the Great. His father, Pippin , left Charlemagne his Frankish empire when he died in 768 AD . The Franks were already very powerful when Pippin died, but Charlemagne made them more powerful still. At the same time, Charlemagne also greatly expanded the size of his kingdom. He conquered France down to the Pyrenees mountains, and even into northern Spain. He crossed the Rhine river and conquered Germany, Switzerland and Austria, even into modern Hungary . To the north, he conquered Belgium. And in 774

90. Medieval Chinese Warfare, 300-900 (Warfare And History)
    David Graff is perhaps the only academic currently specialising in medieval Chinesemilitary history, and his impressive and very helpful bibliography  
    http://www.historyofmilitary.com/Medieval_Chinese_Warfare_300900_Warfare_and_His
    
    Extractions: This is, for now, the best survey of Chinese military history during the long fragmentation of 300-589, a formative period that saw the introduction of the stirrup, heavy cavalry and siege warfare techniques that later served the Tang army so well. It provides a clear and readable account of the many wars in this period, and indeed is often forced to devote more space to narrative than analysis because of the general readerships lack of familiarity with the subject matter. Graff does make some errors in transliteration, mostly in the tedious process of converting earlier English-language sources from the Wade-Giles system to Hanyu Pinyin. His maps are also too sketchy and few to help the reader much - those fluent in Chinese are encouraged to read Bo Yangs translation of the "Zizhi Tongjian" into modern Chinese (published in Taiwan) for the best available battle maps for this period. Nonetheless, David Graff must be credited for writing a long-needed introduction to early Chinese warfare for Western military enthusiasts. Anyone looking for richer historical detail would proabably have to learn Chinese and read the excellent series by Bo Yang.

92. The Stirrup And Its Effect On Chinese Military History
    THE STIRRUP AND ITS EFFECT ON CHINESE MILITARY history. By Prof. Albert Dien. LynnWhite, in his medieval Technology and Social Change, offers the interesting  
    http://www.silk-road.com/artl/stirrup.shtml
    
    Extractions: Lynn White, in his Medieval Technology and Social Change , offers the interesting hypothesis that the feudal class of the European Middle Ages derived ultimately from the stirrup. After the arrival of the stirrup in Europe by the eighth century, and the primacy this gave the horse and armor in warfare, the state made, land grants in return for the pledge to provide armored knights on horseback when called. The freeman with his battle-axe no longer was the mainstay of the military might of the state, though he was still subject to general muster. Charlemagne's attempt to raise horsemen by ordering the less wealthy to pool their resources was eventually unsuccessful because of the difficulties in administering such a program. The eventual result was the distribution of land to vassals on condition of knight's service; from this followed the creation of a fighting elite, which was to have a profound effect on Western society and history. In Europe the introduction of the stirrup and the resulting technology, that of the horse and armor, thus made fighting a matter of class. In China, the appearance of the stirrup also led to significant changes especially in the method of warfare and in military organization. The initial impact may well have been to produce a military elite, that of the tribesmen, Xianbei" and others, which ruled northern China from the fourth to the sixth centuries, but the effect on society was perhaps less pronounced because it was possible to administer effectively a program such as Charlemagne found impossible to implement. The very success of the new military institution, however, led to the disappearance of the tribesmen as the military elite. Thus the invention of the stirrup and its ultimate effect on warfare and society in China is a topic well worth examining.

    Extractions: I n a.d. 635, the church in Western Europe was just settling into the feudal Middle Ages, and in Eastern Europe, Christianity was flourishing in the midst of the great Byzantine era. Further east, the Nestorian Church, based in Syria and Persia, was looking to China. That year it sent missionaries to walk via the silk trade route to China's northwest to spread the faith. The first missionaries to China, then, were considered heretical. Since the 400s, Nestorians had been theological castoffs because they believed Jesus' nature consisted of two persons (rather than one person with two natures). After being condemned at the Council of Chalcedon (451), Nestorians moved east. They retained their missionary zeal and sent representatives to evangelize Arabia and India.

    http://asianmedcom.site.securepod.com/research/china/projects/page5.htm
    
    Extractions: Research by Region China Medicine, Religion and Society in Medieval China The Dunhuang manuscripts and medicine Two catalogues of the medical manuscripts from Dunhuang are available in Chinese. Both were compiled in the People's Republic of China, and take for granted a view of what counts as 'medical' which systematically excludes any text open to the charge of 'superstition'. And yet, in medieval China, medicine and religion were closely intertwined. This is clearly borne out by the existence of a department of exorcisms at the Imperial Academy of Medicine, and by the descriptions of various magico-religious practices which survive in the medical literature despite the effects of censorship. Examples of this are to be found in the work of Sun Simiao, the greatest acknowledged physician of the 7th Century. The aim of our project is to study medieval Chinese medicine in its social and religious context. Since no general study of the Dunhuang medical manuscripts currently exists in any Western language, the initial phase of the project will be concerned with the presentation of the manuscripts. With the aid of the two existing catalogues, we will redefine the corpus and undertake a systematic classification of the manuscripts. In describing the manuscripts, we will focus on their significance from the point of view of the history of medicine and medical practices in medieval China, a period for which few medical sources are extant. This phase will lead to an initial publication.
