Wenceslaus Lavinius of Ottenfeld (1550-May 1602) and His Earthly Heaven
Original language description
In the fourth part of the cannonical collection Theatrum chymicum by L. Zetzner, published in Strasbourg in 1613, we find a double-page booklet entitled Tractatus de Coeli Terrestri by the Silesian physician and alchemist Vaclav Lavinius from Ottenfeld,who is also known by his Latin name Venceslaus Lavinus Moravus. In this paper, I analyse firstly the contribution of this treatise, and then, I put it in the framework of contemporary alchemical production. Lavinius's alchemical treatise presents interesting evidence of the infl uence of Paracelsus's thought in Bohemia in the second half of the 16th century. For this reason I mainly focus on Lavinius's reception of Paracelsus.
