The production of forgeries under the name of the Swiss physician
Paracelsus (1493/94-1541) was an integral part of the diffusion of
the Paracelsian movement in early modern Europe. Many of these
texts were widely read and extremely influential. The inability of
most readers of the time to distinguish the genuine from the fake
amid the flood of publications contributed much to the emergence of
Paracelsus' legendary image as the patron of alchemy and occult
philosophy. Innovative studies on largely overlooked aspects of
Paracelsianism along with an extensive catalogue of Paracelsian
forgeries make this volume an essential resource for future
studies. Contributors are Tobias Bulang, Dane T. Daniel, Charles D.
Gunnoe, Jr., Hiro Hirai, Didier Kahn, Julian Paulus, Lawrence M.
Principe, and Martin Zemla. Originally published as Special Issue
of the journal Early Science and Medicine, volume 24 (2019), no.
5-6 (published February 2020), with a revised Introduction and a
new Appendix by Julian Paulus, entitled "A Catalogue Raisonne of
Pseudo-Paracelsian Writings: Texts Attributed to Paracelsus and
Paracelsian Writings of Doubtful Authenticity," has been added.
