In many ways, Arbatel is unique among texts on magic. Unlike the
vast majority of writings, it is clear, concise, and elegantly
written. The practical instructions are straightforward and
undemanding. When it first appeared in 1575, it attracted the
attention of people with a surprisingly broad range of agendas,
including some of the finest minds of the time. Often quoted and
reprinted, both praised and condemned, its impact on western
esoteric philosophy has been called "overwhelming." Arbatel's magic
is full of wonder and free from the sinister elements usually
associated with texts on the subject. But it is about more than
magic; filled with gnomic wisdom, it urges us to help our
neighbors, be positive and grateful, and use time wisely. Above
all, it teaches us to pay attention, looking for the wondrous and
miraculous. In fact, to the author this virtually defines the
magus. Included are illustrations, bibliography, index, and
original Latin text.
