Abstrakt: In The House of Doctor Dee by Peter Ackroyd, the two questas of the past-travelling protagonists make a palimpsest with two interwoven manuscripts telling the story of the same transmutation. The homunculus that Doctor Dee wanted to create with alchemic means becomes real after centuries in the person of Matthew, who finds his full human self after he learns the power of forgiveness.
