Dorn, Gerhard

• Dedication, 1 August 1566, Gerhard Dorn to Adam von Bodenstein; Latin (Source: BP.Dorn.1567-01)

Dorn acknowledges his debt of learning to Bodenstein and to their common mentor, Theophrastus Paracelsus. The letter laments the ungratefulness and shortsightedness of their contemporaries, especially university scholars, who deride Paracelsus for his unconventional writing style and ideas. Dorn champions Paracelsus's contributions to medicine, physics, and metaphysics and asserts that truth will eventually triumph. In conclusion, he urges Bodenstein to continue advocating for Paracelsus's work and ideals, expressing faith in Bodenstein's commitment to the cause.
