Corneille Agrippa 2 Volume Paperback Set: Sa Vie Et Ses Oeuvres [French]

By Auguste Prost

Described by one modern scholar as a 'classic biography' of Agrippa, Prost's two-volume work (1881-1882) charts the life of one of the most renowned humanists of Renaissance Europe. Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486-1535) was a prolific author, best known for two popular, significant, and contradictory books: De occulta philosophia libri tres and De incertitudine et vanitate scientiarum et artium. Auguste Prost (1817-1896) established his reputation as an antiquarian and a historian of the French city of Metz. These volumes will greatly interest historians and historiographers of Agrippa and of Renaissance magic and the occult.
