Brian Copenhaver (Compiler, Editor, Translator Occultism Editorial Review

The Book of Magic: From Antiquity to the Enlightenment is a well-written book that analyzes a set of philosophical cross-currents beginning in antiquity but rising into prominence in the writings of Marsilio Ficino; this distinguishes the book from other histories of magic. The author's focus is on aspects of magical thought in the works of Renaissance philosophers, with little about casting spells or raising demons. The range of topics and examples is rich and complex, and the book is recommended for readers with some background knowledge of natural philosophy as practiced in the Renaissance. While it can be absorbing, it takes work, and the footnotes are referential rather than explanatory. The writing is lucid, and the abundant illustrations help move the book along. However, some parts of the book are more decorative than functional. The book may be a little boring for people with a background in the Western magical tradition of study and practice, but his views, perspective, and presentation of information is really well done.
