Index Aurel. 101.863. - Cf. Caillet 87; Rosenthal 12 ff.; Ackermann V, 736; Duveen p. 6. - Not recorded by VD16, BM STC and by Adams. - Very scarce copy with erroneous date "MXXXVII" on the title leaf. Probably Agrippa's most famous writing, which takes a rather critical look at the church, sciences and art, was first published in 1530. A large part of it is on occult sciences, which sparked a controversy and caused it to be indexed. - Few ll. slightly stained, title with ownership entries and ink stains. Binding slightly scraped, bumped and upper spine end with small defective spot.
