Bombast
(1493-1541), also known as Paracelsus the Great (by
Hirschvogel)
Preface to the English Translation
There are many respects
in which Paracelsus at the present day seems to be little more than a name.
Even among professed mystics the knowledge concerning him, very meagre and very
indefinite, is knowledge that has been obtained at second hand, in most cases
from Eliphas Levi, who in his Dogme et
Rituel de la Haute Magie, and again in his Histoire de la Magie, has delivered an intuitive judgment upon the
German “Monarch of Arcana”, expressed epigrammatically, after the best manner
of a Frenchman.
