In order to attract readers, it was not uncommon for magical texts
of the 16th century to take on the name of a notable figure. Such
is the case with "The Book of Secrets of Albertus Magnus", whose
secrets are, in fact, a compilation from a number of different
sources by an anonymous author who was, according to editors Best
and Brightman, probably one of Albertus Magnus' followers. Though
it "...pretends to be a product of his experimental school among
the Dominicans at Cologne", for the most part it has a more
colloquial voice than that of Albertus Magnus and so provides a far
more accurate portrayal of the magical culture that predominated in
the 16th century. The secrets contained are divided into five
distinct parts: Of the Virtues of Herbs, Of the Virtues of Stones,
Of the Virtues of Beasts, Of the Planets, and The Marvels of the
World.
