Three Books of Occult Philosophy, or Of Magick (Latin: De Occulta Philosophia libri tres) is Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa's study of Occult Philosophy, widely acknowledged as a seminal work of Renaissance philosophy concerning the powers of ritual magic and its relationship with religion. It was first published in Latin in 1533, although manuscripts circulated earlier.
About the Author
Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486-1535) was a German polymath, physician, legal scholar, soldier, theologian, and occult writer. Entering the University of Cologne at the age of 13, he graduated with a Master of Arts at 16 and went on to study with abbot Johannes Trithemius, famous as the teacher of Paracelsus. Acclaimed for his lectures on Reuchlin and the Corpus Hermeticum at universities across Europe, Agrippa acted as archivist for the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Defying accusations of heresy and scrutiny by the Inquisition of Cologne, he published the final version of Three Books of Occult Philosophy two years before his death. Agrippa is considered one of the most influential occultists of the early modern period.
