The Summary of Physics Restored,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jean D'Espagnet's The Summary of Physics Restored (Enchyridion Physicae Restitutae): The 1651 Translation with D'Espagnet's Arcanum (1650) (English Renaissance Hermeticism) (Hardcover)
D'Espagnet's work has long been studied and recognized as an important exposition of hermetic and alchemical philosophy. Willard's introduction highlights many historical points of interest, such as the reception D'Esganet work received among his contemporaries, and an outline of the influences which informed his compositions. The presentation of the texts are expanded upon by a thoughtful commentary, illuminating some areas that could be confusing.
Overall, this volume continues the fine tradition that this series, English Renaissance Hermeticism, has provided in publishing new, authoritative editions of rare hermetic and alchemical texts which, with a few exceptions, have not been reprinted since their original publication in England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. |
