Spiritism in Paracelsus - Carl Lavoie - 11-21-2022
.
In the chapter II of The Life of Paracelsus (1887) , Franz Hartmann compile a list of terms used by Paracelsus. For the entry 'ELEMENTARIES', he explain them in a very Spiritism way:
"...they may receive vitality from a mediumistic person, and thereby for a few minutes be, so to say, galvanized back into life and (artificial) consciousness, when they may speak and act and apparently remember things as they did during life."
In which work of Paracelsus does this appear? Hartmann wrote this 40 years post-Fox sisters, so, it seems a little suspect. Is it an interpolation by Hartmann?

RE: Spiritism in Paracelsus - Paul Ferguson - 11-23-2022
His list seems to be based on the one in the Fasciculus:

See page 246 onwards for the letter E, but as you say, an interpolation.
