| Abstract: | The Latin poem about Theophrastus Paracelsus briefly suggests that the author (Paracelsus) is obscure and difficult to understand. It implies that even with an interpreter, only Apollo, the god of prophecy, could unravel the complex and enigmatic teachings of Paracelsus. The poem highlights the challenging and cryptic nature of Paracelsus's work. (generated by Chat-GPT) |

[sig. H6r] De Theophrasto Paracelso.
Autor es obscurus, te vix interprete nodos,
Per tripodas vates soluet Apollo, tuos.

On Theophrastus Paracelsus.
The author is obscure, hardly by your interpretation knots,
Through the tripods, Apollo will resolve your prophets.
