What do we know about Agrippa? His teachings, legacy, ideals and guidance.
Who has knowledge?
Even though more and more threads are being deleted, I am also seeing an increase in good threads overall. As I type this, there are threads about Hermeticism and other interesting esoteric teachings. Real users welcome.
this isnt my Roman Agrippa

Just dropping in to say I'm glad I'm not the only one who appreciates the threads to which you refer! Unfortunately some of them are devolving into pissing contests. Sorry I'm not contributing to the topic but I couldn't help myself when I saw your post!

Read "De Occulta Philosophia, Libri Tres" (Three Books of Occult Philosophy, (Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, 1486-1535) Colonge, 1533) in the Old English (London, 1651). It is available from the Univ of Mich online.
The Llewellyn Sourcebook (St. Paul, 1993) is horrible. The type setters DID NOT use Hebrew characters in the text. It's impossible to use and is an embarrassment to Llewellyn as a publishing house.
There are other English translations of the first book.
The first one (Chicago, 1913) does not translate from Latin to English. Instead, it takes the Old English virtually verbatim and uses modern English.
I am not familiar with the Eric Purdue translation (2012, Iowa City) of Book One.
For Aggrippa et al basics, start with Wiki. Browse around. There's too much to talk about here.
MUST READ FIRST:
"Oration on the Dignity of Man (De hominis dignitate)" (1486) by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463 Mirandola - 1494 Florence). It's only 90 pages. he was a 23 year old edge lord that took on the Catholic Church.
(When his body was recently dug up, forensics determined he was poisoned)
