Spiritual & demonic magic

This academic work explores the magical beliefs, demonic theories, and practices of prominent thinkers from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries, including Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, Jean Bodin, Francis Bacon, and Campanella. It argues that magic was a central creation of the late Renaissance, deeply intertwined with religion, music, and medicine, challenging the view of magic as a marginal subject during this period.
