A History of Magic and Experimental Science - During the First Thirteen Centuries of our Era - Volume II

This the second of three volumes of Lynn Thorndike's "A History of Magic and Experimental Science", which explores the history of magic and traces the development of related ideas throughout history and different cultures. Contents include: "The Early Scholastics: Peter Abelard and Hugh of St. Victor", "Adelard of Bath", "William of Conches", "Some Twelfth Century Translators, Chiefly of Astrology from the Arabic", "Bernard Silvester; Astrology and Geomancy", "Saint Hildegard of Bingen", "John of Salisbury", "Daniel of Morley and Roger of Hereford", "Moses Maimonides", "Hermetic Books in the Middle Ages", etc. This vintage book will appeal to those with an interest in magic and its history, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature.
