"When I return home, my first care was to procure the whole works of this author, and afterwards of Paracelsus and Albertus Magnus." (22)
Paracelsus was a Swiss occultist, physician, alchemist and astrologer. He also had a keane interest in alchemy, modern medicine and chemistry. Shelley linked him to Frankenstein with their common theory of being able to create a human being. Paracelsus believed in making people through a scientific process. Although you may think that Paracelsus could be linked with Agrippa, he strongly disagreed and rejected their magical theories.
