Zirkoff, Boris

Helmont, Johannes Baptista van (1577-1644). The writings of this great mystic and occultist were collected together by his son and were published by Elzevir under the title of: Ortus medicinae, id est initia physicae inaudita, progressus medicinae novus, in morborum ultionem ad vitam longam. Amsterdam, 1648 and 1652, 4to. The best ed. is the one of 1652, while the one of Venice, 1651, has additions from other pens. The original ed. was reprinted many times later as *Opera Omnia, and translated into Dutch, French and English.
