Scope and Content

Catalogue of Titles of Alchemical and Hermetic books mainly from Paracelsus. These would seem to be the record cards of Dr Schubert's Library.
Dr Eduard Schubert (1822-1892) assembled the most complete collection ever formed of the writings of Paracelsus. After his death his Library was sold in 1893 in London. Ferguson seems to have acquired many of the items including Schubert's own research notes. See 'Bibliography of the Paracelsus Library of the Late E. Schubert M.D. ... to be sold by William Wesley & Son...', London, 1893.
