Ltd. (London). Second Edition, 1896. Scarce. Hardcover. 304 pages with Index. Franz Hartmann’s biography portrays the 16th-century Swiss physician as a revolutionary reformer who rejected scholastic medicine to pioneer modern pharmacology, toxicology, and holistic healing, emphasizing observation over tradition. Hartmann frames Paracelsus as an \"Adept-Initiate,\" a misunderstood genius whose work combined alchemy, medicine, and spiritual philosophy, often facing persecution for his controversial ideas. The work highlights Paracelsus as a bridge between medieval alchemy and modern science.
