Astronomical and Astrological Works
Astronomica et astrologica
First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The 1567 Cologne edition of Paracelsus's 'Astronomica et Astrologica' contains his major astronomical work, the 'Astronomia Magna' (Philosophia Sagax), along with other treatises. While significant portions have been translated as excerpts (A.E. Waite, 1894) or as individual treatises (Robert Turner's 1656 'Archidoxes of Magic'), no complete English translation of the entire 1567 volume or the full 'Astronomia Magna' exists. Modern scholarly translations by Andrew Weeks (2008, 2024) provide critical editions of specific cosmological and theoretical writings but do not constitute a complete translation of this specific 1567 compilation.

About This Book
Step into the revolutionary mind of Paracelsus, where the stars above are mirrored in the soul below. This collection redefines astronomy as a 'Natural Theology,' revealing how the celestial firmament and human nature are bound together in a single, divine architecture.
