This volume contains the first printing of one of Paracelsus' most important works, a defense against the charges of the Carinthian physicians who were protesting his aim to settle in Carinthia. He follows this with an attack, "Von dem Irrgang und Labyrinth der Artzney," or "The labyrinth of physicians," in which he summarizes his doctrines and states his case against the academic doctors. To this he added a third book, on the origin and cure of arthritis.
