It is amazing how often it is said that The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy, first published in English in 1655, is spurious. This is to a large extent due to a common misperception that the entire work was written by Henry Cornelius Agrippa. It is actually a collection of texts on magic and geomancy that includes Agrippa's book of Magical Ceremonies. The other treatises, however, are equally remarkable. Although The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy was reprinted in a facsimile edition by asking in 1978, and other publishers have reprinted its individual components, this is the first edition to contail all six books, annoted by an expert in magical practice, set in modern type, and reorganized for easier use. The magical texts are grouped in part I, and the two geomancy texts comprise Part II. Hardcover 232 pages.
