Paracelsus Und Die Bilder - UEber Glauben, Magie Und Astrologie Im Reformationszeitalter (German, Hardcover)

Paracelsus (1493a '1541) spoke in various contexts about the multi-facetted topic of images. As a radical lay theologian, he wrote in the spirit of the Reformation attacking the Roman Churcha (TM)s use of images and outlining the power of faith. As a natural philosopher andphysician, he composed a tract on images which was intended not to instruct readers in the aesthetic enjoyment of images, but to deploy their a oepowera and their a oevirtuea to explore the world and gain salvation. In his main work Astronomia magna, he integrated his ideas of the efficacy of images in an encyclopaedic scientific programme and laid out his expectations of the true artist.
