<br />
<b>Printing History, Manuscripts.</b> First edited in 1608 by Benedictus Figulus. Four manuscripts of the whole text. – The text consists of two parts that are probably originally independent. The first part, <i>Vom gelben und roten Mann</i> (“Of the yellow and the red man”) was first printed in 1598 in a collection called <i>Aurum Vellus</i> and in 1610, edited by Joachim Tancke. Four manuscripts in Kassel. The second part, <i>Das wahre Aurum potabile</i> (“The true aurum potabile”), was first printed in 1604 in a continuation of the <i>Aureum Vellus</i> with the title <i>Tractatus de vitriolo philosophorum</i> or <i>Vom philosophischen Vitriol</i>.<br />
<br />
<b>Editions.</b> Not edited by Huser or Sudhoff.<br />
<br />
<b>Relationship between different versions.</b> In some copies the first part is addressed to a prince (Werl manuscript and Figulus: “eur fürstlich gnaden,” also one manuscript of <i>Vom gelben und roten Mann</i>: “eur churfürstlichen genaden”) while others directly address the reader (Heidelberg manuscript: “du,” Bamberg manuscript: “ir”). The latter two are both written – at different times and with a different context – by Martin Sturtz.<br />
<br />
<b>Structure, genre/form, perspective, style.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Relationship to other texts.</b> <i>Vom gelben und roten Mann</i> has basically the same text as the first of part of the <i>Buch mit der Sackpfeife</i>, but the order of paragraphs is different in some cases, and there are also a few extra sentences. One manuscript of Vom <i>gelben und roten Mann</i> is rewritten and considerably enlarged. The same is true for <i>Vom philosophischen Vitriol</i>: comparing with the second part of the <i>Buch mit der Sackpfeife</i>, some sentences are missing, and there are some extra sentences as well.<br />
<br />
<b>Authenticity, authorship.</b> The <i>Buch mit der Sackpfeife</i> is anonymous in the Werl manuscript, attributed to a “Comes a marca” (Bernardus Trevisanus?) in the Bamberg and Heidelberg manuscripts, and attributed to Paracelsus in the Kopenhagen manuscript and in Figulus’s 1608 edition. The first part, <i>Vom gelben und roten Mann</i>, is – in the 1598 edition only – attributed to “Melchior cardinalis et episcopus Brixiensis,” who can be identified as Melchior von Meckau (or Meggau), provost of Meißen, prince-bishop of Brixen (ca. 1440–1509). Melchior, however, would rather have been the prince addressed by the author, if this ascription is reliable at all. The title of the text, <i>Buch mit Sackpfeife</i>, is a complete mystery. Since there is no reference to a “bagpipe” in the text or a reference to any musical instrument at all, the only explanation that we can think of is that there was at some time a manuscript with an illustration containing a bagpipe.<br />
<br />
<b>Time of writing.</b> The oldest manuscripts are from the 1570s. Attributed to Paracelsus in the 1590s or 1600s. The first part may have been written ca. 1490–1510.<br />
