'''Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim''' (14 September 1486 – 18 February 1535) was a German polymath, physician, legal scholar, soldier, theologian, and [[occult]] writer. Agrippa's ''[[Three Books of Occult Philosophy]]'' published in 1533 drew heavily upon [[Kabbalah]], [[Hermeticism]], and neo-Platonism. His book was widely influential among [[occultist]]s of the early modern period, and was condemned as heretical by the inquisitor of Cologne.

No evidence exists that Agrippa was seriously accused, much less persecuted, for his interest in or practice of [[magic]]al or [[occult]] arts during his lifetime, although it was known he argued against the persecution of [[witch]]es.
