Divided into three parts, the natural world, the celestial world, and the divine world, the book systematically explains the philosophy, logic, and methods of magic and astrology and how they work. The basis for 19th-century magical orders such as the Golden Dawn and a primary source for countless books on magical uses of stones, herbs, incense, and astrology, Agrippa's many lists and diagrams have proven invaluable to magicians since the 16th century. Yet, until now, all English editions of Agrippa's Three Books were based on the same flawed 1651 translation from the mysterious “J.F.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this new translation from the original 1533 Latin edition, Eric Purdue corrects the many mistranslations, copyist mistakes, and errors introduced from other editions as well as restores all of Agrippa's original illustrations. Purdue notates every correction and offers commentary, drawing on major developments in the research of older magical and astrological texts. He also presents a nearly complete bibliography of Agrippa's primary sources, revealing Agrippa as a mainstream scholar of his day. Presenting the first new English translation of Three Books of Occult Philosophy in more than 350 years, this three-volume hardcover boxed set repairs the gaps in knowledge pervasive in the original translation and restores the magical spirit of Agrippa's masterpiece, allowing readers to hear Agrippa speak again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRANSLATED BY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eric Purdue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFORMAT:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover, 864 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLANGUAGE:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePUBLISHER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inner Traditions\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52997555224861,"sku":"SIMON\u0026SCHU-THREEBOOKSOFOCCULTPHILOSOPHY-9781644114162","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/1195\/1901\/files\/fc4993b7e3513abca4f4f6193e62c15197c97b053757f0dbecf537e506d61d72.jpg?v=1790293438","url":"https:\/\/space-camp.com\/products\/simon-schuster-three-books-of-occult-philosophy-by-heinrich-cornelius-agrippa-hardcover-864-pages-english","provider":"Space Camp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
