A modern layout and typeset for all three book books, as well as their more contentious counterpart the "Fourth Book" of Occult Philosophy. Our source material includes four original 16th century manuscripts in Latin, & two original printings of the "Fourth Book" in English that we used to compile the corresponding volume. Each of these original manuscripts is available to download. We drew from the 17th century English translation, and used the source material to cross-check the original Latin source and included omissions and errors when they were encountered. However, these occurrences were negligible. The entire work was cross-examined between the original Latin and the 17th century translation page by page. Surprisingly few errors were made, and the translation - even in 17th century English - is enduring, and quite easy to read. Omissions and the occurrence of manuscript inconsistencies is another matter altogether. When these small anomalies appear, we made sure to inform the reader and offer both the original manuscript content side-by-side with the English translation in order to inform the reader and eliminate any confusion. The result, is the most complete printing of Agrippa's treatise in English, and quite likely in any form whatsoever. The inclusion of the "Fourth Book" was not our intention upon the outset of this project, but were later convinced that it had it's place in this volume, regardless of it's credibility. Agrippa's Four Books is a hefty volume at 830 pages, but it is complete, and would make a fine addition to your library.

This study, based on a fresh reading of the entire correspondence, the surviving orations, declamations and other relevant treatises, contains an innovative interpretation of the philosophical and theological thought of Henry Cornelius Agrippa of Nettesheim (1486-1535).The first chapters contain a close study of his controversy with the scholastic theologians, which Agrippa carried on throughout his life, particularly with the theologians of Louvain University. Detailed analyses of Agrippa's declamations are included in the second part of the book.The chapter on the humanist declamation offers a new approach to the interpretation of rhetorical texts in the heyday of learned humanism in Northern Europe; in this context, special attention is paid to Agrippa's indebtedness to Erasmus. Throughout the book, Agrippa emerges as an important intermediary between scholasticism and humanism, and a strong opponent of the professional theologians of his time.

HEAVY CHAMBER MUSIC, MUZAK FOR CONSPIRACY THEORISTS. EDMUND WELLES: THE BASS CLARINET QUARTET's debut CD, Agrippa's 3 Books, explores the expressive extremes of the four bass clarinets, inspired by occult philosophy heavy metal music. Mixed and mastered by Grammy award-winning sound alchemist, Oz Fritz (Tom Waits, Bill Laswell, Primus), the sonorous timbre of this potent instrumentation takes woodwind chamber music into the realm of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Melt-Banana.

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. [..] 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.

In an age of scientific certainties, the idea that such scientific absolutes can be breached at will by individuals asserting themselves against such laws is rather attractive. Throughout the ages the wizard, magician, sorcerer, has claimed to do just this. From Simon Magus to Merlin, Faust to Cornelius Agrippa, the Comte de Saint Germain to Aleister Crowley, the magician has been both feted and feared. An awesome figure in real life and in literature, he has retained his hold on the Western imagination in the teeth of scientific advance. P.G. Maxwell-Stuart's history of the wizard from ancient times to the present shows just how extraordinary a character the wizard has proved to be - not merely a conjuring trickster or malicious egotist in league with Satan, (though there have been plenty of both), but also a deeply religious person intent on using magic the better to understand the mind of God. This unexpectedly rich diversity of wizards offers new insights into our continuing fascination with magic.

Agrippa Von Nettesheim was a counselor to Charles the fifth, Emperor of Germany and judge of the prerogative court. Throughout his life, he held a deep interest in the occult and magic, which led to writing a lengthy series of books on this topic. In the first volume of Three Books of Occult Philosophy or Magic, Von Nettesheim discusses a wide range of concepts in occult beliefs, mythology, and magic. And he has plenty to say: with 74 chapters of content, numerous illustrations to cultivate greater understanding of content, and a hefty index for curious readers, this book has the feel of a magic encyclopedia or reference book.The book begins with a lengthy exploration of the life and magical contributions of Cornelius Agrippa, a magician from the 1500s. Von Nettesheim's respect for this man is blatant in his exploration of the mystic lore and elaborate system of magic Agrippa created. Both men share a deep interest in "natural magic" and this commonality drives much of the rest of the book. Von Nettesheim spends a tremendous amount of time exploring the key tenets of "natural magic": the connections between nature and the human mind; the connections between nature and the human body; and the connections between the human mind and the human body. Three Books of Occult Philosophy or Magic, Vol. 1 explores an incredible world of myth and magic. It would be an interesting read for anyone intrigued by magic, the history of magic, occultism, Cornelius Agrippa, Natural Magic, or historical accounts from the nineteenth century. A powerful beginning to this series as Von Nettesheim establishes a great beginning to what promises to be an interesting and in-depth exploration of magic across several books.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Camillo Agrippa's widely influential Treatise was a turning point in the history of fencing. The author - an engineer, not a professional master of arms - was able to radically re-imagine the art of fencing. His treatise is the fundamental text of Western swordsmanship and also a microcosm of 16th-century thought. It examines the art, reduces it to its very principles, and reconstructs it according to a way of thinking that incorporated new concepts of art, science and philosophy. Every other treatise had to deal explicitly or implicitly with Agrippa's startling transformation of the art and science of self-defense with the sword. All of the fundamental ideas used today - distance, time, line, blade opposition, counterattacks and countertime - are expressed in this paradigm-shifting treatise. This book should be on the shelf of anyone interested in the history, practice or teaching of fencing. 234 pages, 65 illustrations, introduction, bibliography, glossary, appendix, index.

Originally published in 1529, the Declamation on the Preeminence and Nobility of the Female Sex argues that women are more than equal to men in all things that really matter, including the public spheres from which they had long been excluded. Rather than directly refuting prevailing wisdom, Agrippa uses women's superiority as a rhetorical device and overturns the misogynistic interpretations of the female body in Greek medicine, in the Bible, in Roman and canon law, in theology and moral philosophy, and in politics. He raised the question of why women were excluded and provided answers based not on sex but on social conditioning, education, and the prejudices of their more powerful oppressors. His declamation, disseminated through the printing press, illustrated the power of that new medium, soon to be used to generate a larger reformation of religion.
