Fratres.
8vo. 12ff + 9 folding tables + 694pp + 1bl
Portrait of the author and hundreds of occult illustrations/tables in the
text.
Contemporary full calf binding , gilt with the arms of the Cardinal De Casonis (1643 -1720).
Interior complete and in good condition , stain on the title page, some uniform browning due to the nature of the paper used.
Very rare edition of the first part of Agrippa's collected works, complete in itself , containing his master work , the Three Books of Occult Philosophy, as well as the fourth book of occult philosophy and many other works.
Almost all editions of Agrippa's
works are undated , and all but the original were actually based on the first edition, in reality not printed by the Beringos
brothers, but by Zetzner in Strassburg in the late XVIth century (See A.Prost extensive work on the subject) .
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.
