The article interprets the metaphor of Phoenix in Józef Bohdan Dziekoński’s novel Sędziwoj. The symbolism of the mythical figure offers a structural frame which unites the whole novel. This motif, which appears in the opening and closing part of the text, is a parabolic representation of the characters’ fortunes and constitutes quasi-biographies of Kosmopolita and Sędziwoj. Also the very introduction, which is based on the Herder’s legend, outlines the entire novel. Finally, drawing from cultural studies, the article frequently refers to symbolism and alchemy.

Michael Sendivogius, the Polish author of highly influential early modern alchemical treatises, is usually perceived as a typical chrysopoeian rather than a physician. Indeed, in his published texts he hardly mentioned medical applications of alchemy. There are, however, numerous scattered sources which testify to his medical practice and miraculous cures, witnessed by such well known physicians as Oswald Croll. The surviving Sendivogius’s personal copy of Pharmacopoeia Augustana suggests he was well versed in the traditional Galenist pharmacy. The power of his elixir for prolongation of life was widely discussed and its chemical composition is hypothetically identified in the present paper.
