To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is interesting to note that neither one of these two men — the most important of their century in chemistry — seems to have been aware of the exist- ence of the other. Agricola in Saxony and Para- celsus in Switzerland and Austria possessed many interests and much knowledge in common, but Agric- ola's great work appeared after the death of Para- celsus, while those works of Paracelsus which con- tain most of his chemistry did not appear in print until after the death of Agricola. It is there...fore not surprising that neither knew of the other. Agricola's great work De re metallica remains a classic in technical chemistry, while Paracelsus has left little that is of permanent value to chemical science. But the reform of chemistry was not the main aim of the efiforts of Paracelsus, to h\m that was but subordinate to his great ambition, the revolution of medicine. Yet the influence of Paracelsus upon chemistry was epoch-making. By pointing out a rational and promising field for chemical activity and by his own successful application of chemically prepared reme- dies he inaugurated a movement which has con- tinued without interruption and with increasing im- portance to the present day.
