Paracelsus, Swiss alchemist
Paracelsus (1493-1541), Swiss alchemist and physician. Originally Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, he renamed himself Paracelsus (better than the Roman physician Celsus). Paracelsus travelled widely, absorbing the medical knowledge of many cultures. He advocated that physicians should not interfere with natural healing processes, and that pharmacists should be careful to control doses of drugs. He also tried to find a magical medicine or elixir of life. Paracelsianism was based on his theories. This engraving, with the French version of his name, is by the French artist Ambroise Tardieu (1788-1841)
