<b>Authenticity, authorship.</b> The <i>Wunder Artzney</i>, when first published in 1573, did not claim to be a work of Paracelsus, but was, according to the title page, “auff die Theophrastisch Medicin gestelt,” i.e. a kind of complement to the Paracelsian writings, and it was written “vor etlich hundert jaren,” i.e. a few hundred years ago. It is actually nothing else than a German version of the <i>Liber de consideratione quintae essentiae</i> by Johannes de Rupescissa (d. after 1365). The 1573 edition was probably printed from the 16th century Basel manuscript cod. D II 24. However, the second edition, printed in 1586, explicitly named Paracelsus as author of the text: <i>Theophrasti Paracelsi, Wunder Artzney Vnnd Verborgine Geheimnisse Allergeheimnissen</i> and even boasted about being “now, in this year 1586, edited for the first time from the autograph manuscripts of Theophrastus Paracelsus,” which constitutes a double misdirection.<br />
<br />
