Unlike Pico and Reuchlin, Henricus Cornelius Agrippa's knowledge of the Kabbalah was derivative, but his De occulta philosophia, a compendium of all the occult sciences of his day, first printed in 1533 and often reprinted, became one of the most important sources for the Kabbalah in the Christian world; his emphasis on 'practical' Kabbalah or magic later causing a mistaken association of Kabbalah with numerology and even with witchcraft. Agrippa equated Kabbalah largely with magic; a result of Pico's Christian interpretation of Kabbalah and magic. |
