This is the first English translation of one of the most important,
interesting and comprehensive discussions of the occult sciences
ever published. Investigations into Magic" deals not only with
magic in all its forms, from the manipulation of angelic and
demonic powers to straightforward conjuring and illusion, but also
with witchcraft, alchemy, astrology, divination, prophecy, and
possession by evil spirits. In addition, Del Rio gives judges and
confessors practical advice on the most effective ways of dealing
with people who are accused of practising magic, and enlivens his
whole discussion with anecdotes drawn from a remarkable range of
sources, including his own experience. Nothing so panoramic had
ever appeared before, and for the next one hundred and fifty years
"Investigations into Magic" was the indispensable reference work on
the subject. Modern historians and students of the sixteenth
century, as well as readers across many interdisciplinary fields,
will likewise find it an invaluable and fascinating guide to
certain modes of early modern thought.
