Description

Book Synopsis
Together these essays show one of the most original minds of the Renaissance at the height of his powers.

Trade Review
A welcome addition to collections of his work which have appeared in recent years... The texts are translated with explanatory introductions by four very eminent past historians of medicine. Indeed the collection is as much a tribute to their contribution as to the understanding of Paracelsus as it is a celebration of Paracelsus himself. British Journal for the History of Science
