I was actually only trying to highlight the chemical relationship between his 'sugar' and "sulfur' products. As for how it got named 'sulfur', that gets into tricky territory! Van Helmont is a good contemporary and local source, but keep in mind that there is no evidence (that I know of) Neri even knew of Van Helmont. Another good lead might be Paracelsus; Both Neri and his friend in Antwerp (And his sponsor in Florence) were big Paracelsus fans. He introduced a complimentary philosophy to the traditional Aristotelian 'earth, water, air, fire'. He added a new layer of 'Salt, Mercury, Sulfur. So that might be your inspiration for 'sulfur' naming. This is a good place for a disclaimer: while I know a bit about Neri, I only know enough about the history of alchemy to get myself into deep trouble, so in an attempt to avoid that situation, I'll just say that your guess is a good as mine, and probably better ;-)Paul Englehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112332768470669999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448259307836351996.post-79874373715351305342020-12-16T13:37:05.377-05:002020-12-16T13:37:05.377-05:00Hi Paul, do you think that he calls it 'sulphu...Hi Paul, do you think that he calls it 'sulphur' because of the colour red? I'm doing a bit of research on sulphurs in J.B. Van Helmont and I'm still pondering why they call certain products 'sulphur'.

I would suggest either the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY, or Victoria and Albert In London. I don’t have a specific contact but you should have no problem getting a response through their websites. It sounds like a fun project!

Recently, I purchased a lamp that is strikingly similar to vase in this photo (it’s almost certainly a vase, converted into a lamp) and I am fascinated with finding more about its provenance. Your post has given me tremendous insight on areas that I might investigate further-thank you so much! Looking forward to digging deeper into your blog, as well as this style of ceramics!
