Five hundred years after his birth, Paracelsus remains one of the most influential physicians to have emerged from the European tradition. As a contemporary of Kepler, Copernicus, Da Vinci and Erasmus, he walked fully in the light of the European Renaissance, illuminating it further with the power of his own personality. Though reviled in his own day by a complacent and elitist medical orthodoxy, his contributions to medicinal chemistry, herbal and mineral therapeutics, epidemiology, and psychological medicine continue to reverberate into the present time. This three-part essay reviewing the life and times of this extraordinary medical reformer and physician was originally published in the Australian Journal of Medical Herbalism, Vol. 6 (1-3) 1994 as an offering in celebration of the 500th anniversary of his birth.

This article aims at reassessing the significance of Paracelsus’ Herbarius, a work deemed a loose collection of field notes and juvenilia by Karl Sudhoff, Paracelsus’ most famous editor and scholar. By comparing it to Von den natürlichen Dingen, another treatise that overlaps extensively with the Herbarius (four of the six Gewechse discussed in the Herbarius are also dealt with in Von den natürlichen Dingen), the article suggests that both texts, although unfinished, must be read as well-crafted treatises rather than mere drafts. It also examines two hypotheses concerning the relationship between the two treatises: the Herbarius will alternatively be read as a simplified version of Von den natürlichen Dingen, written concomitantly in order to be understandable by the “common man” (gemeine Mann); and as its preliminary version, further elaborated upon by Paracelsus several years after he wrote the Herbarius. By tracing the early reception of the Herbarius, the article attempts to und...
Thomas Willard weist nach, dass Paracelsus sein Wissen aus vielen Quellen (Bibel, neuplatonischer Philosophie, Astronomie, Alchimie und Kräuterkunde) bezog, aber einem wichtigen ganzheitlichen Ansatz, bei dem körperliche, seelische und geistige Gesundheit nicht voneinander getrennt werden dürfen, besondere Beachtung schenkte. from an online review at http://www.perspectivia.net/content/publikationen/francia/francia-recensio/2012-1/FN/classen_grafinger

(Resumen: La contribución de San Basilio a la pneumatología se comprende mejor en el medio histórico de la controversia arriana que impregnó religiosa y políticamente gran parte del Imperio Romano del siglo IV. Es un estudio que se centra en la comprensión de Basilius del papel y la Persona del Espíritu Santo, particularmente como se encuentra en su tratado El Amphilochius Iconium. El carácter distintivo del Espíritu Santo se puede definir a la luz de la relación trinitaria del Espíritu. Basilio, como Atanasio, define la peculiaridad del Espíritu Santo en términos de su relación con Dios, el Padre y el Hijo. El estado y la posición en su relación define el carácter distintivo de cada miembro de la Trinidad. La definición de este tipo ocupa la mayor parte del tratado de pneumatología de Basilius. La pneumatología de Basilius no puede ser entendida; sin embargo, aparte de sus pensamientos sobre la salvación y el bautismo, que a su vez están unidos. El argumento de Basilio para la divinidad del Espíritu Santo funciona al ilustrar lo que hace el Espíritu Santo. El Espíritu Santo ilumina y santifica a los bautizados. El Espíritu Santo completa y perfecciona la creación desde el comienzo de los tiempos hasta su final e ilumina la mente del creyente para comprender el mensaje de su orden. El Espíritu Santo inspira las Escrituras y gobierna su comprensión en la iglesia. Sin pretender conocer la esencia de Dios, Basilius tampoco deja dudas de que el Espíritu Santo ha revelado su divinidad a través de sus acciones. Solo Dios hace lo que solo Dios puede hacer
