Περίληψη:	Is it too much to state that Zosimus of Panopolis (fl. ca. 300 CE) is as foundational a figure for early Greek alchemy as Paul is for early Christianity? He is usually perceived as the one who most of all raised Greek alchemy from a wide array of recipes and techniques to a philosophico-technical system. The importance of Zosimus in the history of alchemy has resulted in a significant body of literature on his ideas and writings, as well as their transmission to later periods. Even so, Dufault’s monograph has a fresh perspective to offer, making a learned effort to contextualise Zosimus in his intellectual and social milieu and to study the ways in which scholarly patronage influenced the development of alchemy.
