De occulta philosophia libri tres

This is V. Perrone Compagni's critical edition of Agrippa's De occulta philosophia, built by directly comparing the surviving 1510 manuscript against the printed text first issued in 1533, establishing exactly where and how the printed version diverges from Agrippa's own earlier manuscript. That manuscript to print comparison, a specific, checkable piece of textual scholarship, is the real basis for treating it as authoritative on the text's history. This record has not independently traced a documented history of scholarly disagreement with Compagni's specific textual findings. Use it for the documented relationship between Agrippa's manuscript and printed versions.
