The Philosophia Magna consists of a collection of magical writings that illustrate the secret connections between the visible and the invisible world. Although Paracelsus left behind a table of contents, these writings were handed down individually or even lost in part. The partly fragmentary texts were edited by Huser. At the same time, there exists a handwritten tradition which is based on older sources and partly deviating from Huser. These various sources are to be critically edited.
