Occasional Publications
A collection of important articles from Ambix, entitled Alchemy and Early Modern Chemistry, edited by Allen G. Debus, was published in 2004.
In 2013, SHAC launched a new series of monograph-length supplements, Sources of Alchemy and Chemistry. This series provides critical editions and English translations of some of the foundational texts in the history of alchemy and early chemistry. The first issue was The Four Books of Pseudo-Democritus and it was edited by Matteo Martelli.
