Drafting into the Section of Early Career

Between 1517 and 1524, he worked as a military surgeon, in Venetian service in 1522. In this capacity he traveled widely across Europe, and possibly as far as Constantinople.

He settled in Salzburg in 1524 but had to leave in the following year due to his support of the German Peasants' War. In 1525, he was active at the University of Freiburg.[citation needed]

Rework to:

Paracelsus sought a universal knowledge that was not found in books or facilities thus, between 1517 and 1524, he embarked on a series of extensive travels around Europe. His wanderings led him from Italy across France to Spain and Portugal, through France again, then to England, Germany, Scandinavia, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Croatia, across Italy and thence to Rhodes, Constantinople and possibly, Egypt. During this period of travel, Paracelsus enlisted as an army surgeon and was involved in the wars waged by Venice, Holland, Denmark, and the Tartars. Then Paracelsus returned home, in 1524, from his travels.

After visiting his father at Villach and finding no local opportunity to practice, he settled in Salzburg, as a physician, in 1524  and remained there till 1527. Since 1519/20 he had been working on his first medical writings, and he now completed Elf Tarktat and Volumen medicinae Paramirum, which describe eleven common maladies and their treatment, and his early medical principles. During his return to Villach and working on his first medical writings, he contemplated many fundamental issues such as the meaning of life and death, health, the causes of disease (internal imbalances or external forces), the place of humans in the world and in the universe, and the relationship between humans (including himself) and God.

Drafting into the philosophy section - Ashley
Although he did accept the concept of the four elements as water, air, fire, and earth, he saw them merely as a foundation for other properties on which to build.

Add to:
He often viewed fire as the Firmament that sat between air and water in the heavens. Paracelsus often uses an egg to help describe the elements. In his early model he claimed that air surrounded the world like an egg shell. The next element in his egg analogy is fire. Fire has a type of chaos to it that allows it to hold up earth and water, and this makes it like the egg white beneath the shell. The earth and water make up a globe which, in terms of the egg, is the yolk. In De Meteoris, Paracelsus says that the firmament is the heavens. He changes the way he thinks of the elements as his life goes on.

* maybe add a picture of the model to help make it easier to picture
