This is a Karger ‘Publishing Highlights 1890-2015’ title. This 2nd, revised edition is still the reference work available in print and electronically on Paracelsus by the Paracelsus authority. Furthermore, it makes a very good read. See also Pagel’s last book The Smiling Spleen on Paracelsianism as a historical phenomenon. “…a work in the brilliant tradition of biographical research…even the casual reader will be impressed to learn that, four centuries ago, the man who had the courage to burn in public the writings of Avicenna, recognised pulmonary disease in miners as an occupational hazard, cretinism and goitre as endemic in certain areas, and chorea and hysteria as manifestations of disease, not demonic possession.” (The Lancet).
