"Under a political mission of the radical Calvinist prince Christian of Anhalt-Bernburg, Oswald Croll (ca. 1560-1608) settled in Prague until his death and frequented the court of Rudolf II, where he composed his masterpiece, "Basilica chymica" (Frankfurt, 1609). Croll occupied a singular place in the Paracelsian movement."
