Abstract

Gustav Fleischer (1856–1913) worked as a chemistry teacher, and later as the principal of the general-program high school in Bjelovar. He wrote a number of works on chemistry and pedagogy and also translated two German textbooks into Croatian. The first scientific treatises in Croatian were published in 1855 in general-program high-school reports. Fleischer thus published his treatise, entitled »Something On Alchemy«, in the Bjelovar general-program high-school report for 1887/88. This was the first treatise dealing with the history of alchemy written in Croatian. This paper demonstrates that most of Fleischer’s views had been taken from the world-famous chemistry historians of the time, but that he also presented some of his own, original views.
