About this book
Theophrastus von Hohenheim, "Paracelsus" (1493-1541), reformed Renaissance medicine on the hermetic macrocosm-microcosm correspondence: the 7 planets mapped to 7 metals and 7 body-organs, the astral body (the sidereal corpus), and the signature doctrine. Waite’s complete two-volume 1894 English edition is hosted here.
Relevance to this project
The astral-medicine strand of the letter-astronomy: the 7-planet / 7-metal / 7-organ isomorphism is the bodily reflex of the Sefer Yetzirah 7 doubles, and Paracelsus’ signature doctrine the medical cousin of "the stars are ranged as Hebrew letters" (mages: Paracelsus).
