Leo Svavius in Paracelsus' catalogue of works.

It is not beyond belief that Paracelsus wrote so many books. The very learned man Varro, as Terentianus says, was called "the most learned of those who wear togas" by his fellow Romans, without arousing envy, and he wrote 490 books, disregarding elegance of language, as Augustine testifies in his "City of God". Cicero briefly mentions them in his "Academica". Gaius Plinius Secundus, according to his nephew Pliny, wrote one book on equestrian throwing, two books on the life of Pomponius Secundus, twenty books on the wars in Germany, three books on philosophy, divided into six volumes due to their vastness, eight books of uncertain language, thirty-one books on the history from the end of Aufidius Bassus, and thirty-seven books on natural history - a comprehensive, diverse, and varied work as nature itself.
