For the authentic Christian principle of Paracelsus' philosophy is that God's spirit breathes in all created things but indirectly, through the light of nature; only in man does it also live directly, outside the natural light, in the immortal body, which is the very centre of his soul.

Paracelsus

1941

0.0 (0)

"The enigmatic sixteenth-century Swiss physician and natural philosopher Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, called Paracelsus, is known for the almost superhuman energy with which he produced his innumerable writings, for his remarkable achievements in the development of science, and for his reputation as a visionary (not to mention sorcerer) and alchemist. Little is known of his biography beyond his legendary achievements, and the details of his life have been filled in over the centuries by his admirers. This richly illustrated anthology presents in modernized language a selection of the moral thought of a man who was not only a self-willed genius charged with the dynamism of an impetuous and turbulent age but also in many ways a humble seeker after truth, who deeply influenced C. G. Jung and his followers." --Back cover.

The Browning cyclopedia

Excellent but old fashioned compendium of Browning allusions, plots and characters. Designed for the general 19th Century reader, but advanced and still useful. One of the best plot outlines of 'The Ring and the Book' available anywhere, much detail.
