Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa v. Nettesheym (1486-1535), studied law, medicine, magic sciences & theology in Cologne. The above work gives emphasis to the tension between the 'verbum Dei' and human knowledge, without providing any basis for the skepticism of which Agrippa has often been accused. - Wing A790; Wellcome II, p. 18.
