正如威廉·r·纽曼（William R. Newman）已经表明的那样，伪帕拉塞尔士著作《自然之人》（de natura rerum）中描述的炼金术侏儒并不是帕拉塞尔士（或被认为是帕拉塞尔士）作品中唯一一种“侏儒”。另外两种重要的“侏儒”确实出现在其他论文中：一种是《侏儒与怪物》（de homunculis et monstrisand），另一种是《怪物与怪物》（the eliber de imaginibus）。本文着重讨论后一个领域及其与自然法的关系。在讨论了《想象论》的真实性之后，我将简要分析其内容，并讨论两篇论文共同的主要主题：“事物的签名”和侏儒。通过研究对后者的接受，我将展示炼金术中侏儒的概念，正如《自然再现》中所解释的那样，如何迅速确立自己作为最突出的概念，尽管事实上，像傀儡一样的vom langen LebenandDe imaginii最初在帕拉塞尔人中几乎取得了同样的成功。
As William R. Newman has already shown, the alchemical homunculus described in the pseudo-Paracelsian writingDe natura rerumwas not the only kind of “homunculus” present in the works of (or attributed to) Paracelsus. Two other important kinds of “homunculi” indeed appeared in other treatises: one inDe homunculis et monstrisand the other in bothVom langen Lebenand theLiber de imaginibus. This article focuses on the latter tract and its relationships withDe natura rerum. After discussing the authenticity of theLiber de imaginibus, I will provide a brief analysis of its content and discuss the major topics common to the two treatises: the “signatures of things” and the homunculus. By studying the reception of the latter, I will show how the alchemical conception of the homunculus, as explained inDe natura rerum,quickly established itself as the most prominent notion despite the fact that the golem-like version ofVom langen LebenandDe imaginibushad nearly as much success at first among Paracelsians.
