A Theophrastus Sampler, Part V: the ‘Secretum Magicum’

[Paul Ferguson]

"Today’s sharing from the Blue House of Via-HYGEIA, is a little surprise treat, as we continue our exploration of the core philosophy of Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, a.k.a. Paracelsus. Here, with an extract from Gottfried Armold’s ‘Unparteiische Kirchen- und Ketzerhistorie‘ (Impartial History of the Church and of Heresy, in two volumes 1699/1700); a chapter dedicated to Paracelsus, in which Arnold discusses and defends Paracelsus’ books and publishes after a whole treatise: the ‘Secretum Magicum‘ (the subject of this sharing). From Volume IV, Section II, chapter XXII, page 148 to 168."
