""Concerning The Generation, Growth, Preservation, Life, Death, Resuscitation, And Transmutation Of Natural Things"" is a book written by Paracelsus, also known as Theophrastus, a Swiss physician and alchemist who lived during the Renaissance period. The book is a collection of his theories and observations on the natural world, including the processes of growth, decay, and transformation.Paracelsus believed that all natural things were composed of three basic elements: sulfur, mercury, and salt. He believed that these elements interacted with one another to create the complex structures and processes found in the natural world. He also believed that these elements could be manipulated through alchemical processes to create new substances or transform existing ones.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the generation of plants and animals, the preservation of food and medicines, the causes of disease, and the process of death and resuscitation. Paracelsus also discusses the transmutation of metals, a topic that was of great interest to alchemists of the time.Overall, ""Concerning The Generation, Growth, Preservation, Life, Death, Resuscitation, And Transmutation Of Natural Things"" is a fascinating look at the natural world through the eyes of one of the most influential alchemists of the Renaissance period. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science, alchemy, or the natural world.THIS 72 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Hermetic and Alchemical Writings of Paracelsus Part 1, by Theophrastus Paracelsus.
