blasting powder, attribution to Paracelsus, Schlag-Pulver.

Meaning

Only two separated historical fragments remain available at this location in the supplied edition: an attribution to Paracelsus and a description of powerful blasting powder. The accompanying editorial omission notice is modern wording, not a translated historical sentence. The designation is recorded solely to account for the omission and distinguish it from the separate calcination vocabulary at passage 16. It is not a basis for recovering a composition, identifying an unverified Paracelsian passage or reconstructing any operational directions.

Places to read

  1. The Last Testament of a Father to His Beloved Son · Passage 20German“beschreibt Paracelsus” A separated attribution fragment, not independently verified.
  2. The Last Testament of a Father to His Beloved Son · Passage 20German“dieses aber ist ein gewaltiges Schlag-Pulver” The surviving general designation; omitted details remain omitted.

Reading note

Diotimos edition clarification. This companion refers to an earlier version of the edition. The current book includes the restored Testament passages on the 1682 witness’s pages 76–77; the companion’s references to an omission notice describe that earlier version.
