In Caii Plinii Secundi Naturalis historiae argutissimi scriptoris I. & II. cap. libri XXX. commentarius : naturalis quidem magiae compendiariam rationem, plenam mysteriis, profundissimamque rerum secretissimarum contemplationem, naturam, potentiam, qualitatem, substantiam & virtutem, totiusque naturae cognitionem complectens
Walther Hermann Ryff reframes magic not as superstition, but as the pinnacle of natural philosophy. Readers will discover how ancient thinkers linked numbers, celestial bodies, and the human soul to command the hidden forces of the universe.
