The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy, by Henry Cornelius Agrippa and unnamed others, is considered one of the cornerstones of Western magic, and the grimoires it contains are among the most important that exist in the Western tradition. For more than three hundred years, this mysterious tome has been regarded as difficult or even impossible to understand--until now. Occult scholar Donald Tyson presents a fully annotated, corrected, and modernized edition of Stephen Skinner's 1978 facsimile edition of the original work, which was six tracts published as one volume in 1655. For the first time, these classic works of Western magic have been rendered fully accessible to the novice practitioner, as well as occult scholars and skilled magicians. Tyson presents clear instruction and practical insight on a variety of magic techniques, providing contemporary magicians with a working grimoire of the arcane.

In questo volume sono raccolti e presentati quei racconti che citano o parlano in qualche modo del "Libro Maledetto", quel Necronomicon che, sicuramente opera di fantasia di Lovecraft, come lui stesso ebbe ad affermare, a tutt'oggi conta una numerosa schiera di appassionati che sono convinti esista davvero. È in ogni caso fuor di dubbio che queste storie inquietanti costituiscono un momento fondamentale nell'insieme del corpus narrativo del Solitario di Providence, e in particolar modo per quanto attiene al suo famosissimo Ciclo dei Miti di Cthulhu, che viene unanimemente riconosciuto come la parte più pregnante e significativa della sua produzione.

The vast store of magical lore in this classic work has influenced occultists for five centuries. Originally published in 1531 and translated into English in 1651, it has not been reprinted in its entirety until now. Editor Donald Tyson presents these writings as Agrippa intended: complete and free from the numerous errors of the original translation. This work serves as the most comprehensive repository of pagan and Neo-Platonic magic ever compiled, featuring unique material, including extracts from obscure or lost works by notable figures such as Pythagoras, Pliny the Elder, Cicero, Ptolemy, Plato, and Aristotle. Tyson’s detailed annotations clarify difficult references and expand upon quotations, making Agrippa's work more accessible to modern readers. It offers extensive insights into the foundations of the Western Esoteric tradition and serves as a practical guide for magical workings, detailing various divinations and both natural and ceremonial magic in clear, useful terms. Additionally, the extensive supplementary material, including biographical and geographical dictionaries and appendices, provides quick reference to many previously obscure aspects of classical magic. This work is an essential reference for students of the history of ideas and the occult tradition.
