The only English translation appeared in London in 1651. It is a thoroughly edited and revised edition of this latter work that we produce. Some translating has been done and missing parts supplied.” CONTENTS: EDITOR'S PREFACE. • EARLY LIFE OF AGRIPPA. • CORNELIUS AGRIPPA TO THE READER. • AGRIPPA TO TRITHEMIUS. • TRITHEMIUS TO AGRIPPA.
