Summary

Description A salamander, attributed to Paracelsus by M.P. Hall (1928); however the beast depicted is uncharacteristically winged and has a lion's head. Another source identifies this illustration as "the Pope as a Monster" from a 1527 anti-papal tract by Andreas Osiander and Hans Sachs.[1] In Paracelsus' Auslegung, rather than using it to illustrate a salamander, he was merely giving his interpretation of this preexisting woodcut, which was commissioned by Osiander based on some old anti-Papal drawings found in the Carthusian monastery in Nuremberg. The originals are generally attributed to the Joachimite movement of the 13th century. Paracelsus' description of it (in German) says that this is a "salamander or desolate worm with a human head wearing a crown and a pope hat."
