    from internal evidence is unlikely to have been the work of Päracelsus, and it is unnecessary to enter into the question which has been raised by some of his biographers as to his employment ‚ of seribes under him, who reduced his dietations to writing and have possibly maltreated their master. The text which has been adopted for translation is the Geneva folio, in four volumes [!], 1658, in Latin. The bizarre mixture of Latin and old German [!] in which Paracelsus originally wrote, presents many difficulties with which it is unnecessary to grapple, as the Latin collected edition appears to represent in a very satisfactory manner both the letter and the spirit of the originals . . . these two volumes of uncriticised text should be followed by one other which will contain ‚all the materials requisite for unterstanding Paracelsus ... . the simple provision of a text, as intelligible as the cireumstances will allow, has been truly no light undertaking, nor should it be regarded as the exelusive work of one hand . The editor has accomplished his task with the collaboration of other specialists, and is responsible only for certain portions of the actual translation, and for its general provision and collation . .
