Early 17th century German manuscript - "Die sechs Hauptstuck Christlicher Lehre [...] durch: Martinum Dornbergem". 175 paper leaves, 15 x 9 cm, from 131 to the end, the leaves are blank. Numerous recipes. Title page glued to the front of the 3rd f., decorated with a chalice, surmounted by a host, flanked by the tables of the law. In these drawings are inserted texts in microscopic writing illegible without a powerful magnifying glass. But the question is above all to know how one could have written so small... F. 5v, arms of Paracelsus in colours blazoned Or on a band Azure with three rondelles Argent. Opposite, glued to f. 6r, a coloured portrait of Paracelsus holding in both hands a large sword in front of him. Another portrait f. 128v, in colour, of a figure with both hands on a skull. Several hands of writing and several texts including, it seems, the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Several names of owners or users: on the front cover of the binding: "ADAM / ECKHART", with the title "Martinus Dornbergem", on f. 130r "Jo [hannes] Martinus Heckerus / Badensis" and, opposite the date 1619. Bound in contemporary full calf, spine ribbed, covers decorated with cold stamping. Paracelsus (Philippus Throphrastus Aureolus von Hohenheim) (1493-1541) was a German-speaking (Alemannic dialect) Swiss physician, philosopher and lay theologian. The Bombast von Hohenheim family is a German noble family from the Duchy of Swabia, attested from the 12th century and extinct in the mid-16th century; it takes its name from the castle of Hohenheim, which it held in fief of the Counts of Württemberg.
