He studied at the University of Basle and later traveled as an itinerant student and surgeon in the wars. He was the first to deliver lectures on medicine in anything but the Latin language; that is, in Germany. As a result he had a great many hearers. But Paracelsus was far from mod- est concerning his own ability and standing. He pro- claimed himself the greatest medical genius of Germany and compared himself with Hippocrates, whom he revered. As an outward and popular sign, he burnt the work...s of Galen and Avicenna in his lecture rooms, thus showing his unbelief in and disdain for these ancient authorities. He be- lieved that experience and observation made the physician, not the knowledge of Latin and Greek and the useless prin- ciples of the ancients. Altho not properly educated in his department, he was possessed of ingenious medical in- stincts and through his extensive travels was better fitted for the work of a reformer than were the literati of the profession, who trod universally the paths of Galen and the Arabians.
