Difference between revisions of "Picatrix"

Eugenio Garin declares, "In reality the Latin version of the ''Picatrix'' is as indispensable as the ''[[Corpus Hermeticum]]'' or the writings of Albumasar for understanding a conspicuous part of the production of the Renaissance, including the figurative arts." It has significantly influenced West European esotericism from Marsilio Ficino in the 15th century, to Thomas Campanella in the 17th century. The manuscript in the British Library passed through several hands: Simon Forman, Richard Napier, Elias Ashmole and William Lilly.
