The Homunculus (Latin: little man). An artificial, created rational animal, or human being that, according to Paracelsus, has all the limbs and features of a child born of woman, except much smaller. This zine is a collection of excerpts from a range of texts and images, from Aristotle to the 17th century, dealing with the generation of life both natural and artificial. Included are translations from The Book of the Cow, and Jabir ibn Hayyans Book of the Concentration. This small work is more or less a little reader on the homunculus.
