John Cremer, a fourteenth-century abbot who lived in Westminster, was reputed to have joined Raymond Lully in alchemical works in Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. Thomas Norton, author of the Ordinall of Akhimy, began writing this famous work in 1477. The reputed Basil Valentine is mentioned later in our Chemical History Tour and also by Read. Vulcan is the god of fire. Arms of Vulcan refers to fire as an instrument of chemical change. The picture depicts an immediate proximity between a chemical laboratory and a chemical library—the duality of practice and theory. Although the American Chemical Society recommends location of a university chemical research library in the chemistry laboratory building, it is unlikely that they have quite this closeness in mind.
