The Life of Henry Cornelius Agrippa Von Nettesheim, Doctor and Knight, Commonly Known As a Magician
This Elibron Classics title is a reprint of the original edition published by Chapman and Hall in London, 1856.
The Life of Henry Cornelius Agrippa Von Nettesheim
Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim; (14 September 1486 - 18 February 1535) was a German polymath, physician, legal scholar, soldier, theologian and an occult writer.Agrippa was born in Nettesheim, near Cologne on 14 September 1486 to a family of middle nobility. Many members of his family had been in the service of the House of Habsburg. Agrippa studied at the University of Cologne from 1499 to 1502, when he received the degree of magister artium. The University of Cologne was one of the centers of Thomism, and the faculty of arts was split between the dominant Thomists and the Albertists. It is likely that Agrippa's interest in the occult came from this Albertist influence. Agrippa himself named Albert's Speculum as one of his first occult study texts. He later studied in Paris, where he apparently took part in a secret society involved in the occult.In 1508 Agrippa traveled to Spain to work as a mercenary. He continued his travels by way of Valencia, the Baleares, Sardinia, Naples, Avignon, and Lyon. He served as a captain in the army of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, who awarded him the title of Ritter or knight.

Where now is the Agrippa who began the world averse from strife, and who, when at the outset of his career as a scholar he was attacked by the monk Catilinet, addressed his enemy with the soft voice of Christian expostulation ? Alas for him, he is the same man still. His violence in later years was but the struggling of a spirit, pure and sensitive, against a torment urged beyond its powers of endurance; it is true in one sense that he fou...
