“..and afterwards of Paracelsus” (page 21)
Paracelsus, or Auroleus Phillipus Theostratus Bombastus von Hohenheim, was a famous Swiss scientist from the early sixteenth century. He was well known for his work in medicine and in alchemy. He scorned Agrippa, which is interesting because Victor also idealized him. (Edit) This hints to the reader that Victor's fate will be similar to Agrippa's.
