The Volume and Work Beyond Wonder

The initials "B v C" likely refer to the author's family name, Bombastus von...; the "C" may be a library classification or a reference to "Celsus." The name in parentheses refers to Paracelsus (1493–1541), the famous Swiss-German physician and alchemist who rejected traditional medical authority in favor of observation and chemical treatments.

Paracelsus
Paracelsus's birth name was Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim. He chose the name "Paracelsus" to suggest he was "beyond" or "better than" Celsus, a renowned Roman medical writer.
