Upon the Book.

The secrets hidden beneath obscure words,
Through which Paracelsus Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (1493–1541), known as Paracelsus, was a pioneer of the "medical revolution" who emphasized observation and chemistry over traditional ancient authorities. brings aid to the suffering:
Here, the path is shown clearly, and hidden things are unlocked;
You will find the veils removed from your own eyes.
What was once difficult, you will now see as accessible and clear,
So that your mind might be better prepared for your studies.
Read this little handbook; handbook: original "fasciculum," literally a small bundle or packet of papers. it is brief, yet it reveals deep mysteries.
Let this one book serve you as many others would.
