Very rare dated edition of the second
part of Agrippa's collected works. Almost all editions of Agrippa's
works are undated , and all but the original were "fakes"
based on the first edition, in reality not printed by the Beringos
brothers, but by Zetzner in Strassburg at the beginning of the
XVII century (See A.Prost extensive work on the subject) . This
edition, although not printed by Beringos , is dated and from
a different printer that the usual editions, the title page
showing a medusa.
Contrary to the first part of the works,
most treatises contained in this second part were never translated
and can't be found in modern edition.
Published during the XVI century, the
works of Agrippa are foundational to both western secular and
occult thought. In his own time, although admired and feared
by many as a powerful magician, he was hunted as a heretic and
necromancer, his books were burned and he was condemned by the
Inquisition.
