In fact, by the time Hankins wrote his disciplinary assessment of pre-Lavoisier chemistry, a counternarrative of the development of chemistry as a discipline had already appeared in Owen Hannaway s 1975 The Chemists and the Word The Didactic Origins of Chemistry. As the subtitle indicated, Hannaway s narrative traced the invention of chemistry as a discipline back to the initiation of a didactic chemical textbook tradition by the humanist, Andreas Libavius, with his own textbook, the Alchemia of 1597.16... 

As Owen Hannaway has observed, Libavius criticized Paracelsus and his followers in many aspeas (Hannaway [1975]). Yet he also shared with the Paracelsians some basic understanding of the constitution of substances and of chemical change. His understanding of chemical change as exaltation is only one example for the latter. See also our discussion of the historical meaning of chemical concepts above.
