Arthur Schnitzlers einaktiges Versdrama Paracelsus, entstanden 1894-1898, spielt im Basel des 16. Jahrhunderts. Paracelsus' historischer Konflikt mit den Basler Doktoren spiegelt die für Schnitzler aktuelle Divergenz zwischen den Entdeckungen von Sigmund Freud und der konventionellen Wiener Schulmedizin. Mit dem Modell einer Hypnose, die verborgene Wünsche sowohl aufdeckt als auch suggeriert, wird eine hochambivalente Therapievariante vorgestellt, die sowohl den Narzissmus des behandelnden Arztes als auch das Begehren der Patientin bedient.Der dreizehnte Band der historisch-kritischen Ausgabe präsentiert das gesamte nachgelassene Material. Die erste Niederschrift, in der Paracelsus' persönlicher Gegner noch ein Musiker ist, unterscheidet sich dabei vor allem in der Figurencharakterisierung und Handlungsmotivation von der zweiten, in der das ärztliche Genie und ein spießiger Handwerker aufeinandertreffen. Schnitzler verlegt das ,Künstlertum' zwar vom Musischen ins Medizinische, lässt aber auch massive Kritik an der vermeintlichen Allmacht des Heilkünstlers zu.Neben der Dokumentation der Entstehungs- und Druckgeschichte bietet die Edition die faksimilierten Handschriften samt Transkription, einen kritisch geprüften Drucktext nach dem Erstdruck mit einem Variantenapparat sowie einen Kommentar. At the center of Schnitzler's one-act verse drama Paracelsus, written between 1894 and 1898 and set in sixteenth-century Basel, is a hypnosis experiment that blurs the boundaries between dream and reality. This historical critical edition documents the text's genesis and print history, and provides manuscript facsimiles including transcriptions, a critically reviewed printed text with a variants apparatus, and a commentary.

Derrière l’imagerie populaire de l’alchimiste assis au secret de son fourneau, il y eut jadis des êtres de chair. Qui étaient ces hommes? Comment vivaient-ils? Quelle place tinrent-ils dans la société et dans le monde intellectuel d’alors? Cette étude de la réception de l’alchimie et des doctrines de Paracelse en France s’attache à la production du livre alchimique et paracelsien et à l’histoire des nombreuses querelles que ce dernier provoque. On établit chemin faisant la biographie de plusieurs alchimistes, tel Joseph Du Chesne ou Etienne de Clave, et l’on ruine la légende selon laquelle Descartes, de retour d’Allemagne, aurait été suspecté de rosicrucianisme. L’ouvrage s’achève sur la grande crise des années 1620, où une alchimie inclinant tantôt au matérialisme, tantôt au panthéisme, est englobée par les apologètes chrétiens dans leur condamnation du mouvement libertin. Alchimie et paracelsisme est le premier d’une série de trois volumes, où seront successivement étudiés les cercles alchimiques français et le mécénat princier qui les favorisa, ainsi que les rapports entre science, religion et littérature dans la France alchimique de la fin de la Renaissance.

Paracelsus is regarded as one of the great medical innovators of all time, as a prototype of Goethe's Faust and as a founder of German Renaissance nature philosophy. Recently, his role in the popular "radical Reformation" that coincided with but went beyond Luther's church reform has been recognized as well. A legendary wanderer and rebel, he is an author of undisputed importance, but also one clouded by puzzling ambiguities. Based on a close examination and revised dating of Paracelsus's writings, this book rejects certain myths concerning the author's scientific orientation and experience of nature. The genesis of his thought is traced to his responses to sectarian conflicts of the early Reformation. One can characterize Paracelsus's project as that of a radical theorist who transgressed the boundaries of disciplines and seized upon the irreducible particularities of his phenomena - the transmuted disease or the unrecognized female pathology - to challenge the established order and ideology.
