De praesagiis, vatiticinijs [!] et divinationibus. Astronomica item et astrologica fragmenta
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
While there are various English publications titled 'The Prophecies of Paracelsus' (e.g., 1915, 1975), these appear to be anthologies or selections rather than a complete translation of the specific 1569 Latin collection 'On Presages, Prophecies, and Divinations'. No evidence was found of a complete, scholarly translation of this specific 1569 volume. Therefore, this is likely the first complete translation.

Verified Mar 30, 2026 via local catalogs, open library, google books, internet archive, openalex, loc, ustc · methodology
Step into the mind of the Renaissance’s most provocative alchemist to uncover the hidden mechanics of the universe and the secrets of the 'sidereal body.' Paracelsus challenges traditional astrology and physics to reveal how man acts as a microcosm of the divine, capable of commanding the very stars through the 'Light of Nature.'
