- Title

- Authors
Kahn, Didier; Hirai, Hiro
- Abstract
Over the last 40 years, a number of major publications have considerably expanded our knowledge of the works of the Swiss physician Paracelsus (1493/94-1541) and his followers. Charles Webster in 1982 was amongst the first to remark upon the impact of Paracelsian forgeries on the formation of both Paracelsus' popular image and Paracelsianism.[1] Three months later, we organized another conference at Villa Vigoni (Italy) under the title: "Pseudo-Paracelsus: Alchemy and Forgery in Early Modern Medicine and Natural Philosophy.".
