Paracelsus, Swiss alchemist
Paracelsus (1493-1541), Swiss alchemist and physician. Originally Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, he renamed himself Paracelsus (better than the Roman physician Celsus). He travelled widely, absorbing the medical knowledge of many cultures. He also tried to find a magical medicine or elixir of life. This woodcut shows a sword, coat-of-arms, and other symbols, and mottoes. The Latin inscriptions are: Let no man belong to another who can belong to himself (top); every perfect gift comes from God, the imperfect from the devil (right); praise be to God, peace to the living, to the dead perpetual rest (left)
