The Philosophy of Natural Magicby Henry Cornelius Agrippaed. L. W. de Laurence[1913] |
This is an early 20th century edition of Agrippa's Philosophy of Natural Magic, along with a wealth of background material. Originally published in 1531-3, De occulta philosophia libri tres, (Three books of Occult Philosophy) proposed that magic existed, and it could be studied and used by devout Christians, as it was derived from God, not the Devil. Agrippa had a huge influence on Renaissance esoteric philosophers, particularly Giordano Bruno.
While this is not a specialist edition, it will suffice for the casual reader who doesn't want to wade through Elizabethan typography and spelling, just enough of which is preserved here for flavor. A more comprehensive transcription is located here. This edition is a pastiche of a portion of a translation of Agrippas' libri tres by an unidentified translator, excerpts from a book on Agrippa by Henry Morley with extensive background, and some self-promotional material by the publisher, de Lawrence, who was a notorious pirate publisher. This end material is of interest because it is a good example of early 20th century American occult publishing.
