Ebook: Corpus Paracelsisticum: Band II Der Frühparacelsismus / Teil 2

The second volume of the »Corpus Paracelsisticum« provides access to the wide-ranging oeuvre of Michael Toxites and Gerhard Dorn, two highly influential founder figures in the history of upper Rhenish Paracelsianism. From there, the purview extends across confessional boundaries to other cultural centers, in Bavaria, Saxony, Silesia, Bohemia, and the lower Rhine. Consideration of writers like G. Fedro, M. Ambrosius, L. Span, B. Flöter, G. Etschenrutter, B. Scultetus, P. Perna, T. Zwinger, and J. Albrecht opens up a perspective on an extremely wide-ranging discourse network of epochal significance. Alongside the commentary with its indications for further reading, the volume has a detailed introduction, a number of indexes, and historical summaries on the scholarly significance of each of the corpora devoted to a specific author.
