Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (Paracelso)

Hello everyone , today I will talk about a person that I admire, this person is Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, known as Paracelso (Paracelsus in latin). He was born in November 10th, 1493 and died in September 24th, 1541. He was a Swiss German, philosopher, physician,botanist,astrologer, and a great alchemist.


I admire her passion and effort for the development of the science, he was against the traditional and inherited medicine, and for this reason Paracelso was considered as one of the first modern medical, thanks to him today we talk about the four elements, he proposed this theory that attributed the air , fire, water, and ground with the gnome, aquatic nymph, wind spirits and fire fairy respectively.
In fact he was who gave zinc its name, calling  it zincum.

 

In her era, all the people think that he was a magician, and also they think that he discovered how transmute lead into gold by chemical metods. He wrote a book about how create an homunculus, also it was introduced in the search for the Philosopher's Stone.
