Authenticity, authorship. According to Weimann the text “is obviously spurious […]. Style and content are completely unparacelsian as can already be seen from cursory reading. Additionally, this text is only found in one single manuscript and even there it is not denoted as Paracelsian. It is merely found in the vicinity of other Paracelsian works contained in this manuscript.”

Time of writing. Further study required.
