Johannes Pharamond Rhumelius (1597–1661) was a German alchemist and physician, and a contemporary of Jan Baptist van Helmont. He was born in Neumark and died in Nuremberg.
He is chiefly notable for his works on alchemical medicine, Opuscula Chemico-Magico-Medica (Noremburgse, 1635), Medicina Spagyrica Tripartita (1648), [1] the Compendium Hermeticum (1635) and the Compendium fortificatorium (1632). [2]
His Spagyric Medicine also appeared in German translation as Medicina Spagyrica oder spagyrische Artzneykunst (Frankfurt, 1662), and in a French edition: Médecine spagyrique (1648). [3]
He is described as the son of the doctor John Conrad Rhumelius, a Catholic, a "discípulo de Paracelso," [4] and he also wrote under the pseudonym of "Solomon Raphael." [5]
