Meaning
Form.
French includes signatures among the natural phenomena treated by the second work in his 1650 compilation. Here the word is part of a promotional list, not given an extended local definition. The apparatus identifies that second work as the separate nine-book Of the Nature of Things attributed to Paracelsus. The list must not silently expand the textual coverage of the present Sendivogian corpus.
