Solomonic Magic & the Grimoires

The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy

by Henry Cornelius Agrippa (attributed) · Stephen Skinner (ed.)

Skinner's edition of Robert Turner's 1655 English collection, which gathered the pseudo-Agrippan Fourth Book with the Heptameron of Peter of Abano, the Isagoge, the Arbatel, the astronomical geomancy of Gerard of Cremona and Pictorius on spirits. These short texts supply the practical ritual missing from Agrippa's Three Books. Skinner's introduction explains each work's origin. A key sourcebook for planetary and angelic conjuration and for the Elizabethan magical canon.
