BibTeX
Athanor, a Wikipedia article maintained by its community of volunteer contributors, covers the alchemical furnace of that name. As a perpetually community-edited general reference rather than a peer-reviewed publication, it is adequate for standard, uncontroversial facts, such as basic definitions and common usage, and is not the right source for a contested or highly specialist historical claim about the object, which a dedicated scholarly history of alchemical apparatus should support instead.
