The Language of Demons and Angels: Cornelius Agrippa's Occult Philosophy

Christopher I. Lehrich's study works through a specific, named interpretive problem: the apparent internal contradiction in Cornelius Agrippa's own occult philosophy, where different parts of the same work seem to argue against each other, and Lehrich's contribution is a close reading that tries to resolve or explain that tension rather than a general survey of Agrippa's life. This atlas draws on it for that narrow, specific reading rather than for broad Agrippa biography. This record has not independently traced a documented history of scholarly response to Lehrich's specific argument. Use it for the interpretive question it addresses; a general biographical or historical claim about Agrippa needs a different source.
