Aureoli Philippi Theophrasti Paracelsi Bombast ab Hohenheim medici et philosophi celeberrimi, chemicorúmque principis, operum volumen secundum opera chimica et philosophica ...
This 1648 Geneva edition of Paracelsus's collected chemical and philosophical works, published by Joan Antonii and Samuel de Tournes, was made for alchemists, physicians and students of natural philosophy. Its pictures are small woodcut-style seals and planetary talismans, each a ring of letters around a circle of symbols and strokes, and a designer could borrow their radial lettering, compact emblem layouts and crisp monochrome geometry.
