The Sixth Part of the Books and Writings of the Noble and Highly Learned Philosopher and Physician Paracelsus

Parts or species beneath it: As can be clearly seen from the inserted table, page 40. The other kind of natural powers and effects is that which the Firmament or Heaven employs and uses for itself: some of which are accomplished through man (though without his art and skill), and some of which appear and become manifest through other creatures. Theophrastus calls these effects Dona Gifts of the Firmament, of which he mentions 10, each of which likewise has other species beneath it, as is to be seen in the table on the 51st page.

In the Second Book (the beginning of which is fol. 139), the entire Celestial or Supernatural Astronomy is described, under which Theophrastus includes all works and deeds that are performed and accomplished in a heavenly way through the power and capacity of the new creature (proceeding from God the Son, Jesus Christ, according to the second and new creation). Theophrastus likewise divides these works into two kinds: namely, into 9 Membra Limbs and 10 Dona Gifts, each of which contains just as many species and parts beneath it as presented in the division of natural astronomy.

In the Third Book is contained the Astronomy of Faith or the New Olympus, which Theophrastus mentions at the beginning of the fourth, fol. 208 (which he also described). In this astronomy, he will without doubt have described the powers and effects of strong faith and intense imagination, according to necessity, and also divided them according to the aforementioned disposition into 9 Membra and 10 Dona: However, it has not yet come to light.

From Theophrastus' own handwriting.

In the Fourth Book (fol. 208) is described theoretically the Satanic or Infernal Astronomy, in which are included all powers and effects which the Devil uses and accomplishes, either by himself or through magical humans (though also through the power of nature). It was without doubt also fully described by Theophrastus according to the aforementioned division: But at this time, there is no more of it present than what is included herein.

Theophrastus mentions the practice of these 4 Astronomies in many places in these books, that he also wrote them: But until now, nothing of it has come to light.

Partly from the autograph, partly from the manuscript of Paracelsus' amanuensis.

II. Another short Astronomical book: called Explanation of the entire Astronomy: In which Theophrastus describes only the natural arts and effects of the Firmament 227.

III. Practice in the Science of Divination, fol. 248. Which (as can be seen from the text) is directed toward the 4 species of Divinations of this preceding compendium.

Everything previously never published in print.

IV. Another Compendium, or Explanation of natural Astronomy, described somewhat more extensively by the author.
Following this are several proofs, perhaps arranged by the author for this compendium, such as:

Everything from Theophrastus' handwriting.

V. Several fragments and schedules, uniform with the preceding books, such as:
