The Philosophy of Natural Magic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781396323348)

"The Philosophy of Natural Magic" by Henry Cornelius Agrippa, a seminal work in the field of esoteric philosophy, offers a captivating glimpse into the mystical practices and beliefs of the Renaissance era. First published in the early 16th century as "De occulta philosophia libri tres," this book proposes a compelling view of magic as a divine science, accessible to devout Christians and derived from God, rather than the Devil. Agrippa's profound influence on Renaissance thinkers, especially Giordano Bruno, is a testament to his revolutionary ideas.

This early 20th-century edition brings Agrippa's work to the modern reader without the complexity of Elizabethan typography and spelling, preserving just enough to provide an authentic flavor of the original text. This book serves as a fascinating introduction to the world of natural magic and its philosophical underpinnings.
