Few Alchemists have achieved such a legendary status as Nicolas Flamel. The Parisian scribe is said to have unlocked the keys of alchemical transmutation of base metals into gold and silver and even to have used the Stone of the Philosophers to achieve immortality. But, what do we actually know about the historical Flamel? Did he encode his alchemical secrets on a Tympanum which stood in the Holy Innocents’ Cemetery for centuries? What is the alchemical theory found in the “Exposition of the Hieroglyphicall Figures” the work most famously attributed to him? Was he even an alchemist, at all? In this episode, we explore the life and legend of Nicolas Flamel, from alchemical theory to Harry Potter.
