Agrippa · The Occult Philosophy
Book I · Notebook 6 of 7
Dreams, the Soul and the Imagination
In 1510 a young scholar from Cologne sent the famous abbot Trithemius a manuscript on the hidden powers of nature. Printed in full in 1533, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa's "Three Books of Occult Philosophy" became the encyclopaedia of Renaissance magic — read by alchemists, doctors and astrologers, condemned by inquisitors, and copied by every occultist who came after.

About this book
Can a dream foretell the future? Can fear or joy change the body — and can a strong imagination act on another person? This beautifully illustrated notebook is the sixth in a series that divides Agrippa's work by theme. It contains Book I, chapters 58–68: the reviving of the seemingly dead, long sleep and fasting, divination through dreams, ecstasy and the power of melancholy, the makeup of man — the senses, the mind and the threefold appetite of the soul — the passions of the soul and how they change the body, the power of imagination over one's own and other bodies, and how the mind was believed to join with the heavens and bind lower things.
