"Presented together as parallel texts, and supplemented with a
concise but rich critical apparatus that shows a keen
sensitivity to terminological issues, the selected Paracelsian
works and their translations will prove fruitful even for those
versed in Paracelsus’s German prose. Altogether, this is a work
that should find its way onto many library shelves, and prompt more
scholars to edit and make accessible sources from this period."

"Weeks's translation of some of Paracelsus's major works corrects a
problem that has veses Paracelsus scholarship for years. Until now,
English readers did not have a reliable source to get to know one
of the most prolific writers of the sixteenth century. This is a
breakthrough for those of us who teach classes in English and wish
to provide our students with an accurate representation of the
primary source."
