Al-Razi (Rhazes, 854-925) was a Persian who studied in Baghdad. Al-Razi wrote extensively on medicine, philosophy, astronomy, and alchemy, but he was primarily a physician. Al-Razi was less mystical than his contemporary alchemists and classified chemicals by their origin. According to Al-Razi, chemicals came from either animals, plants, and minerals or were derived from other chemicals. Al-Razi wrote The Comprehensive Book, which was an enormous medical encyclopedia that synthesized medical practices of ancient Greeks, Syrians, Arabs, and Persians. Al-Razi was the first person known to describe the disease smallpox. Most of his alchemical writings have been lost, but Al-Razi believed in the atomic nature of matter. Al-Razi took a systematic approach to science and rejected the idea of divine intervention. His rational methods and descriptions were more consistent with modern science than most individuals of his time. Ali al Husayn ibn Sina (Avicenna, 980-1037) was another Persian physician whose voluminous works, including The...

Regardless of the fact that risk taking has been implanted in our existence from the beginning, development of the science of risk, and of statistics, has been somehow delayed when compared with other sciences. Astronomy, medicine, philosophy, physics and mathematics all have foundations in great ancient cultures of Egyptian, Persian, Greek, Roman and Chinese civilisations. On the other hand, the first serions study of risk happened during the Renaissanee (Bernstein, 1996). 

The present volume owes its origin to a Colloquium on Alchemy and Chemistry in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries , held at the Warburg Institute on 26th and 27th July 1989. The Colloquium focused on a number of selected themes during a closely defined chronological interval on the relation of alchemy and chemistry to medicine, philosophy, religion, and to the corpuscular philosophy, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. 

Tentetnikov was of a quiet disposition. He was not led astray either by the nocturnal orgies of his comrades, who had a lady they all visited right under the windows of the director s apartment, or by the way they scoffed at religion just because the priest happened to be none too intelligent. No, even in his dreams he had the conviction that his soul was divine. He was not to be led astray but he did become despondent. His ambition had been roused, but there was now no suitable field of action for it. It would have been better if it had never been stimulated. He listened to, the declamations of the excitable lecturers, and remembered his former tutor who had known how to be comprehensible without fuss. What subjects and what courses did he not follow There were those of medicine, philosophy and even law there was...
