Jacques Gohory's (Leo Suavius) 1568 Latin compendium is a distinct editorial work containing a biography of Paracelsus, unique scholia, and a specific synthesis of Paracelsian thought. While individual treatises summarized in this volume (such as 'De Vita Longa') were translated by A.E. Waite in the 19th century, Gohory's specific Latin text and his critical apparatus have never been published in English translation. Catalog searches for Gohory and the specific title 'Compendium of Universal Philosophy and Medicine' confirm the absence of any prior English edition.
