Description: SPIRITUAL AND DEMONIC MAGIC FROM FICINO TO CAMPANELLA Book Details + Condition: The Warburg Institute / University of London (London). Scarce first edition, 1958. 244 pages. The author, D.P. 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.
