Practicae Medicinae Liber Quartus.

Parisiis, Apud Societatem, 1633.

"Sennert was influenced by Paracelsus without being truly a Paracelsan; he wrote influentially on chemistry. He also contributed to the revival of atomism. Sennert's collected works alone went through nine editions within the space of forty years, and individual works were also republished. Sennert was acquitted from the charge of heresy levelled by Johannes Freiburg, professor medicine at Helmstaedt. The charge was made because Sennert held that the souls of animals as well as men were created by God out of nothing" (The Galileo Project).
