Frederico Grisogono's 1958 collection of essays De modo collegiandi, prognosticandi et curandi febres: necnon de humana felicitate ac denique de fluxu et refluxu maris presents his views on alchemy. He acknowledges the traditional association between the sky and earth and the correlation between the seven planets and seven earthly metals. He attempted to empirically determine the position and the properties of these planets (the Sun and the Moon were also considered planets at the time). He clearly distinguished the good and the bad planets and those that agree (love) or disagree (hate) with one another. However, Grisogono abandons the traditional Renaissance viewpoint on planet position inasmuch as he claims that Venus (copper) and Jupiter (tin) need to change places. He discards alchemist practical teaching that base metals can be turned into noble metals such as gold and silver. His argument against it is based on then generally adopted sulphur-mercury metal structure theory.
弗雷德里科·格里索戈诺1958年的论文集《关于热病的治疗、预后及调理方式：兼论人类幸福以及最终的海潮涨落》阐述了他对炼金术的观点。他认可天地之间的传统联系以及七大行星与七种 earthly 金属之间的关联。他试图通过实证来确定这些行星的位置和特性（当时太阳和月亮也被视为行星）。他明确区分了吉凶行星以及彼此相和（爱）或不和（恨）的行星。然而，格里索戈诺摒弃了文艺复兴时期关于行星位置的传统观点，因为他声称金星（铜）和木星（锡）需要互换位置。他抛弃了炼金术士关于贱金属可转化为贵金属如金和银的实用学说。他对此的反对基于当时普遍采用的硫汞金属结构理论。
