Paracelsus ( Theophrast Bombast Von Hohenheim) (1493–1541). wiss-born physician. He was attracted to alchemy, astrology, and mysticism, and flouted the traditional methods of
Avicenna and
Galen. Although frequently labelled a charlatan, he had many followers and exerted considerable influence, particularly through the
Rosicrucian movement. This mythological machinery was borrowed by Pope, via the Rosicrucians, in
The Rape of the Lock. Paracelsus was the subject of a poem by
Browning (below).
