Plural of azoth; multiple references to the alchemical universal principle or to different samples of mercury in historical texts.
Regular English plural of 'azoth' (from Arabic 'al-zā'iq'), found primarily in alchemical manuscripts and historical chemistry references from the Middle Ages through the 1700s.
Reading about 'azoths' in alchemical texts shows how mysticism and protochemistry were mixed together—alchemists argued endlessly about whether there were multiple azoths or just one universal substance.
