Gutwirth, Eleazar, "Alquimia y armamento: sobre un fragmento aljamiado en un manuscrito de la Houghton Library", Sefarad, 81/1 (2021), 69-88.

Resum
El MS Typ. 479 Houghton Library, Harvard University es un compendio de obras misceláneas en italiano. El tema del artículo no consiste en este compendio. Se centra en algunos folios al final del códice. Aunque se ha descrito como texto hebreo es seguro que no se trata de palabras hebreas. Se trata de caracteres hebreos y se puede describir como aljamía judeo-catalana. La identificación del contenido revela que el MS trata de alquimia y utiliza su lenguaje. Contiene múltiples referencias a armas. El artículo trata de reconstruir un contexto histórico para el interés judío en alquimia y armas en la España bajomedieval.
