Until the 18th century, alchemical symbols, which were devised as part of the protoscience of alchemy, were employed to denote some elements and compounds. While this type of writing was fairly standardised, alchemists’ styles and symbols varied, hence this page of alchemy symbols lists the most prevalent.
Alchemy was passed down through the ages from Egypt and Arabia through Greece and Rome, and then to western and central Europe. The name comes from the Arabic phrase “al-kimia,” which refers to the Egyptians’ preparation of the Stone or Elixir. The Arabic word “kimia” is derived from the Coptic word “khem,” which refers to the Nile delta’s fertile black soil.
