Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa

Agrippa’s most important work is the Three Books of Occult Philosophy published in 1531–1533. 1. The three books are a comprehensive description of magical correspondences and practices and how they can be used. For Agrippa, magic is the highest natural knowledge. 2. The use of classical sources and allusions is thick, revealing Agrippa’s humanist tendencies—a predilection made equally clear by the way he names himself. 3. Agrippa also thought that mathematics was key to the successful use of natural magic.
