Paracelsus (born Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, 11 November or 17 December 1493 – 24 September 1541) was a German-Swiss Renaissance physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer, and general occultist.

Sounds like an interesting man... BUT! A little out of the theme's era? Maybe a descendant of Paracelsus or a lifelong admirer of his work?

Good to see you join the contest Carlosan! Welcome and best of luck!

Hi Anais

Well Paracelsus -a well renombred botanist and alchemist- found The elixir of life, also known as elixir of immortality and sometimes equated with the philosopher's stone, a legendary/mythical potion, or drink, that when drank from a certain cup, at a certain time, grants the drinker eternal life and/or eternal youth.

The person who sold the manuscript to Rudolf II -King of Bohemia- could only have been John Dee, another alchemist, mathematician and astrologer at the court of Queen Elizabeth I.

Dee related Paracelsus about the herbal manuscript Voynich, and how some herbals needed for prolongation of life can be found and processed following the manuscript recipes.

At 19th century Paracelsus is back but his elixir is over, he need to found the mysterious herb to prolong his life.

That is some really great detail in the face. Really nice work! I like the presentation of the weathered paper background too. Can't wait to see the rest of him!
