Although traditionally attributed to Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, modern scholars debate the true authorship of The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy.
Published posthumously around 1559, over twenty years after Agrippa's death, this work differs significantly in style and focus from his famous Three Books of Occult Philosophy.
Where Agrippa’s authentic writings emphasize philosophical magic and theory, the Fourth Book plunges into practical ritual magic, spirit conjurations, and angelic operations.
Scholars now believe the Fourth Book was likely written by an unknown successor — sometimes called pseudo-Agrippa — drawing heavily on Agrippa’s ideas while expanding into more operational magical practices.
Regardless of authorship, it remains a foundational text for the Western esoteric tradition, deeply rooted in Renaissance ceremonial magic and Kabbalistic cosmology.
This 1978 limited edition faithfully preserves the historical power and mystery of the original, offering modern students rare access to a cornerstone of magical practice.
