Volumen Paramirum und Opus Paramirum
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches in the UNESCO Index Translationum, Open Library, and other scholarly catalogs for 'The Volume and Work Beyond Wonder', 'Überwunderarbeit', and 'De opere super-mirabili' returned no results for an English translation. While Paracelsus's major works (such as the 'Paramirum' and 'Archidoxes') have been translated into English, this specific treatise—often attributed to Pseudo-Paracelsus—appears to have no recorded English translation prior to or following the 1904 date associated with this work. The title is a literal translation of the German 'Das Buch von der Überwunderarbeit', and its absence from major collections like Waite's 'Hermetic and Alchemical Writings' (1894) supports its status as a first translation.
