The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy Paperback – September 10, 2010

The media could not be loaded.

This is an excellent resource as it is a hardcover facsimile edition of the original work. If you require a more modern (readable) translation of this work with corrections and annotations, see Donald Tyson's softcover edition "The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy"

I read this book after becoming interested in these type of books. In my experience this was the most clear writing I've encountered in an occult booklet. The readability of this work is great. It's perfectly coherent and in simple English.

Most people leaving bad reviews are getting the "Tarl Warwick" version. I'm not sure who he is, but his work should be in a separate area. If you're after Dr. Skinner's version, as I assume most are, you must get the hardback.

Nice, completing the s et

This is a must for the serious student of Western Occultism. Especially like the selections "Arbatel of Magic" and "An Introduction on the nature of spirits".

love the book

Good Book

Excellent, contains six short books in one, and they're all important.

Agrippa tanításainak megismerése egy jó alapja lehet az okkult filozófia megismerésének ... ő kora emberétől jóval intelligensebb, érteni vágyóbb volt ... német származása miatt konkrétan, tisztességesen, lényegre törően ír, művei a legkevésbé sem az általam "rózsakeresztes mellébeszélésnek" nevezett stílusban születtek. Ajánlom az elolvasását.

Book is missing info, reads like readers digest.It's like a short summary, of the books, which is not very useful at all.

To be honest, I'll probably end up forking out for Donald Tyson's paperbabck edition which seems far better researched and annotated.The commentary here is very heavy on subjective opinion, light on substance and most damningly, light on support for anyone wishing to try the workings for themselves. For instance, the aphorisms in the Arbatel are dismissed as 'preachy' (it's possible that another word was used, but that was the meaning) with the calls to the planetary spirits being identified as the only chapter of any worth - which completely miss the point of the aphorisms.I have a full review of the physical book on my Youtube channel which you can find by searching for "Denis Poisson".
