Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
While partial translations or selections of Paracelsus's works (such as 'The Archidoxes of Magic') exist, there is no evidence of a complete English translation of the specific 1570 Latin edition of 'Archidoxa ex Theophrastia'. The search results confirm that while Paracelsus's writings have been anthologized and partially translated, a full, scholarly translation of this specific text does not appear in major catalogs.
