A Seminary Co-op Notable Book
PROSE Award in European History

"Marvellously readable . . . Not for nothing is Grafton renowned as today's leading historian of Renaissance intellectual culture . . . as erudite as it is enchanting." --Literary Review

"A brilliantly vivid exercise in intellectual history, as told through the biographies of the early modern magi, which will stir the thoughts of everyone who reads it. --New Statesman

"Magus offers a rich set of observations on an oft-neglected intellectual tradition during a turning point in Western thought . . . Magic is once again beginning to merit serious study in the academy. --Chronicle of Higher Education

In literary legend, Faustus is the quintessential occult personality. The historical Faustus, however, was something quite different: a magus--a learned magician fully embedded in the scholarly currents and public life of his time. And he was hardly the only one. Anthony Grafton argues that the magus in Renaissance Europe was a distinctive intellectual type, indebted to medieval counterparts as well as contemporaries like the engineer, artist, Christian humanist, and religious reformer. Alongside these better-known figures, the magus had a transformative impact on his social world.

Magus details the arts and experiences of learned magicians including Marsilio Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, Johannes Trithemius, and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. These erudite men were at the center of debates concerning licit and illicit magic, the divine and the diabolical. Over time, they turned magic into a complex art, which drew on contemporary engineering as well as classical astrology, probed the limits of what was acceptable in a changing society, and promised new ways to explore the self and the cosmos.

Resituating the magus in the cultural and intellectual order of Renaissance Europe, Grafton sheds new light on both the recesses of the learned magician's mind and the world he helped to build.

picky yorkie approved
Size: 0.18 Ounce (Pack of 25)
well, like many of the other members of the dingo fan club, it’s been hard to find consistency with dingo products the last few years likely due to some products being manufactured in more than one country. even though i’ve thrown hundred maybe thousands down the drain trying to appease my picky 13 year old diva, the truth is i still won’t give up bc she likes what she likes! and she likes dingo plain and simply. it’s her world and i’m just living in it LOL! I’ve never had an issue with any of these peanut butter twist stick packages of 25 like i have had with the white and red ones. i usually have to soak them in hot water for a few mins to soften up a bit but not these pb sticks. my yorkie is 13 and doesn’t have the best teeth and is missing a few in the front lol so if something is too hard, she just gives up. this product is great value
