Epilogue

View through CrossRef
This epilogue summarizes key themes and presents some final thoughts. It argues that the same degree of textual scholarship and experiment encountered in Newton's alchemy cannot be found in his other scientific work. His biblical hermeneutics and deep studies of chronology married his skill in astronomy to his understanding of humanist scholarship, but without anything approaching the generation-long labors of the laboratory elicited by chymistry. The unique and often idiosyncratic nature of Newton's alchemical quest calls for one final question. Can we see something of his reclusive, aloof character, his reliance on a brilliant, innate acumen to the exclusion of any personal warmth, and above all his belief that he stood above the herd of common intellects, fully justified by his scientific discoveries, as stemming from his early and ongoing idealization of the adepts?
