Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim
(Henricus Cornelius Agrippa ab Nettesheym)
"Recent historical investigation... assigns him a central place in the history of ideas of the Middle Ages; he is seen as characterizing the main line of intellectual development from Nicholas of Cusa to Sebastian Franck. Modern opinion evaluates him on the basis of his Platonic, Neoplatonic, and Hermetic influences - primarily in the De occulta philosophia Agrippa von Nettesheim. In.: Dictionary of Scientific Biography. American Council of Learned Societies. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York 1970; vol. I, 79-81 "In his influential work De occulta philosophia libri tres (1531), Agrippa combined magic, astrology, Qabbalah, theurgy, medecine, and the occult properties of plants, rocks, and metals. This work was an important factor in the spread of the idea of occult sciences." ; "The magical interpretation of Qabbalah reached its peak in Henri Cornelius Agrippa of Nettesheim's De occulta philosophia Encyclopedia of Religion, Mircea Eliade ed. in chief, MacMillan Publishing Company, New York 1987, article on Occultism by Antoine Faivre (Director of Studies at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, Section des Sciences Religieuses, Sorbonne University; Professor of Germanic Studies at the University of Haute-Normandie.

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa of Nettesheim
Born 14 September, 1486, at Cologne; died at Grenoble or Lyons in 1534 or 1535. One of the remarkable men of the Renaissance period. Described as a "knight, doctor, and by common reputation, a magician", Agrippa earned and repaid the bitter enmity of his more conservative contemporaries. We find him a student at Cologne and Paris (1506), in Spain (1507-08), a teacher of Hebrew at D"le (1509), a teacher in England (1510), about which time he finished his work "De occulta philosophiâ (Antwerp, 1531), a mixture of Neoplatanism and the Cabbala. He spent some time in Italy in the military service of the Emperor Maximilian, who rewarded his bravery by making him a Ritter or knight. He soon turned however, to other pursuits, studied medicine, Hebrew, alchemy, theology, and finally devoted himself to "Cabalism" under the influence of Reuchlin (q.v.) and Raymund Lully (q.v.). He lived and taught in various places, making friends or enemies wherever he went, but was apparently not very successful financially, as he was banished from Cologne for debt, and spent his last days in poverty, a typical example of the irregular, vicissitudinous life led by his kind at that time. His numerous works, chiefly philosophical, have a strong bias toward "occultism", and run counter to the received opinions of his time in theology and scholastic philosophy. He lived and died nominally a Catholic, but was openly in sympathy with

Heinrich Cornelis, born at Cologne of prosperous lower class parentage, attended University of Cologne but did not receive degrees. He assumed the Latin names Corneilus Agrippa in 1603, possibly to make his lineage seem more noble. He boasted of an international reputation as an astrologer and necromancer , but contemporary observations generally portray him a confidence man and swindler. Most of his career is unknown, obscured by legends, of which there are many. Agrippa was said to be a practicing Demonic as well as a black magician. Other legends say he was a

An excerpt from Keltic Knot, a work in progress by Alexis Dolgorukii, from the work of heinrich cornelius agrippa von Nettsheim.

HEINRICH CORNELIUS AGRIPPA von NETTESHEIM:
(1486 -1535 C.E.)

(An excerpt from "KELTIC KNOT" a work in progress by Alexis Dolgorukii)
NOTE: Names that are fully capitalized, bold faced, and underlined in this text are people who are described in the section of this work on THE HUMANIST COLLECTIVE:
Cornelius Agrippa is firmly believed by most "Popular Occultists" to have been a very important "Magician", Alchemist" and, of course, an "occultist" just like them. In fact he is alleged to be the original of "Faust, or "Dr. Faustus". But what's the truth of the matter?
THE HISTORICAL FAUST:
Various contemporary documents of the 16 th century mention a contemporary "necromancer" calling himself Faust. But what IS a "Necromancer"? In the 16 th Century it was believed that "Necromancy" was the skill, or capability, of actually summoning the dead "back from the grave" and communicating with them for many reasons, usually in that time frame, believed to be diabolical in origin. But aside from total fraud, what was "Necromancy" actually? It was I believe, a combination of two things; one: mediumistic, and two: Misunderstood and mis-diagnosed Shamanism in a society which no longer knew anything about the subject having lost that knowledge due to it's violent suppression, over the years since Christianity triumphed over the pre-Christian religions in which Shamanism was a vital aspect.

Writings of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535)
Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) is the most influential writer of renaissance esoterica. His de occulta philosophia appeared in three books. Written from 1509 to 1510 (he would have been 23 at the time), it circulated widely in manuscript form, and was eventually printed in 1533. It is a "systematic exposition of ... Ficinian spiritual magic and Trithemian demonic magic (and) ... treatised in practical magic" (I. P. Couliano in Hidden Truths 1987, p. 114). Without doubt, this book should be at the top of any required reading list for those interested in Western magic and esoteric traditions.

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) is the most influential writer of Renaissance esoterica, and indeed all of Western occultism. His de occulta philosophia appeared in three books. Written from 1509 to 1510 (he would have been 23 at the time), it circulated widely in manuscript form, and was eventually printed in 1533. It is a "systematic exposition of ...

Without doubt, this book should be at the top of any required reading list for those interested in Western magic and esoteric traditions. In his Mysteriorum Libri , John Dee makes frequent mention of Agrippa's book, to the extent that he seems almost to have memorized it. Portions of Agrippa's work are also frequently found appended to magical manuscripts or even liberally merged with the text. In 1801 Agrippa's text, in a slightly abridged form, was shamelessly plagiarized and published as his own work by Frances Barrett (

No Frames

Navigation Info
German mystic and alchemist, born of a once-noble family near Cologne in 1486 and died in 1535, almost certainly at Grenoble. His books on magic and occultism were widely known and he was both famous and infamous at the courts and universities of western Europe. His real name was Heinrich Cornelis. After the fashion of the time, he latinized Cornelis into Cornelius and awarded himself the bogus noble title of Agrippa Von Nettesheim, from the Roman founder of Cologne and the name of a place near Cologne. Undisciplined, unstable and erratically brilliant, Agrippa was often forced to live by his wits and played at different times the roles of occult scholar and alchemist, faith healer and demonologist, court astrologer, theologian, lawyer and doctor (he studied both medicine and law at Cologne, apparently without taking a degree), historian; town orator, financial adviser and secret political agent. He worked now for the Pope and now for his rival the Emperor, switching sides as opportunity offered. He founded secret societies whose members he was not above exploiting. He mixed with royalty at one moment, only to find himself in prison for debt the next.

Cornelius Agrippa
Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, 1486-1535, German mystic and alchemist Agrippa of Nettesheim was born of a once-noble family near Cologne, and studied both medicine and law there, apparently without taking a degree. In 1503, he assumed the name Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, adopting the von to suggest a noble background; three years later, he established a secret society in Paris devoted to astrology, magic, and Kabbalah. Geneva , and in 1524 became personal physician to the queen mother at the court of King Francis I in Lyons. When the queen mother abandoned him, he began practicing medicine in Antwerp, but was later banned for practicing without a license, and became historiographer at the court of Charles V. After several stays in prison, variously for debt and criminal offenses, he died in 1535. Agrippa's wrote on a great many topics, including marriage and military engineering, but his most important work is the three-volume De occulta philosophiae (written c. 1510, published 1531), a defense of "hidden philosophy" or magic, which draws on diverse mystical traditions alchemy, astrology, Kabbalah. A later work, De incertitudine et vanitate scientiarum Of the Uncertainty and Vanity of the Sciences ), attacks contemporary scientific theory and practice.
