Spiritual and Demonic Magic: From Ficino to Campanella (Magic in History Series) 🔍
The Pennsylvania State University Press, Magic in history, University Park, Pa, 2003, 2000
Sutton Pub., D. P. Walker, Brian Copenhaver 🔍
description
First published by the Warburg Institute in 1958, this book is considered a landmark in Renaissance studies. Whereas most scholars had tended to view magic as a marginal subject, Walker showed that magic was one of the most typical creations of the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
Walker takes readers through the magical concerns of some of the greatest thinkers of the Renaissance, from Marsilio Ficino, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, and Jacques Lefevre d’Etaples to Jean Bodin, Francis Bacon, and Tommaso Campanella. Ultimately he demonstrates that magic was interconnected with religion, music, and medicine, all of which were central to the Renaissance notion of spiritus.
Remarkable for its clarity of writing, this book is still considered essential reading for students seeking to understand the assumptions, beliefs, and convictions that informed the thinking of the Renaissance. This edition features a new introduction by Brian Copenhaver, one of our leading experts on the place of magic in intellectual history.

"This book takes as its subject the magical concerns and beliefs, and the demonic theories and practices, of some of the greatest thinkers of the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, from Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, to Jean Bodin, Francis Bacon and Campanella.".
"At a time when most scholars tended to view magic as a marginal subject. Walker showed that magic was one of the most typical creations of the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and that 'Spiritus' played an important role in the Renaissance. Magic was, as this book demonstrates, profoundly interconnected with religion, music and medicine."--BOOK JACKET.
