About this book
How did the Renaissance make a talisman? This notebook is the sixth of Book II in a series that divides Agrippa's work by theme. It contains Book II, chapters 38–52: the images of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury and the Moon — which stone, which hour and which figure; the dragon's head and tail; the twenty-eight talismans of the mansions of the Moon; the images of the fifteen Behenian stars; the sixteen geomantic figures; images made "after the mind of the maker"; the celestial observations for their practice; and the characters drawn from geomantic figures and from things themselves.
What is inside
