<b>The Philosophy of Natural Magic by Henry Cornelius Agrippa</b>&nbsp;study of&nbsp;occult&nbsp;philosophy, acknowledged as a significant contribution to the&nbsp;Renaissance philosophical&nbsp;discussion concerning the powers of&nbsp;magic, and its relationship with religion. The first book was printed in 1531 in Paris, Cologne, and Antwerp, while the full three volumes first appeared in Cologne in 1533.<br /><br />The three books deal with&nbsp;elemental, celestial and&nbsp;intellectual&nbsp;magic. The books outline the&nbsp;four elements,&nbsp;astrology,&nbsp;Kabbalah,&nbsp;numerology,&nbsp;angels,&nbsp;names of God, the virtues and relationships with each other as well as methods of utilizing these relationships and laws in medicine,&nbsp;scrying,&nbsp;alchemy,&nbsp;ceremonial magic, origins of what are from the&nbsp;Hebrew,&nbsp;Greek&nbsp;and&nbsp;Chaldean&nbsp;context.<br /><br />These arguments were common amongst other&nbsp;hermetic philosophers&nbsp;at the time and before. In fact, Agrippa&#39;s interpretation of magic is similar to the authors&nbsp;Marsilio Ficino,&nbsp;Pico della Mirandola&nbsp;and&nbsp;Johann Reuchlin&#39;s synthesis of magic and religion, and emphasize an exploration of nature.
