A New Translation of Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy with Eric Purdue

In this episode, I speak with Eric Purdue, translator of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy – the first new translation in over 350 years. Eric discusses the life of Agrippa, the historical context of Agrippa’s work, the meaning of occult philosophy and its relation to magic, philosophy, and Christian theology. Eric also explains why a new translation of the Three Books was needed, how he tracked down nearly all of Agrippa’s sources, and the relevance of reading Agrippa now, especially in light of the current magical resurgence.
