چکیده
Paracelsus very likely studied the arts at the University of Vienna and medicine at the University of Ferrara in Italy. He recognised the relative development standstill of Middle Ages. He had the courage of his convictions and burned the works of Galen and Avicenna in public in 1527, as town physician of Basel. He denounced ancients in harsh terms, refusing to accept their theory of humours. He also insisted on lecturing in German instead of Latin. The result was that he was kicked out of Basel.
