This book contains ancient magical rituals and techniques collected over fifty years of research, these rare manuscripts were originally written in ancient Latin and were until recently elusive to the general public. Written by John Baptist Porta, a Neapolitan scholar of notable ability who had devoted great attention to the study of natural and physical science. Porta visited most of his known world to gather and perfect the knowledge utilised in his writings. This was achieved by years of research pooling information from rare manuscripts on these subjects and comparing the various sub-sections of each to find the central methods of magic. While crucially informing the readers of the differences so they can experiment with which works best. The value this book gives the reader of the perspective of those early scientists and the way they perceived their known universe was as precious then as it is now. It should be remembered that few in Porta's time were free from naivety toward many marvels and superstitions which were inherited from the past and Porta's work shows that he was no exception, as much of the "marvelous" is found in his writings. On the whole, however, his information is definite and practical and his work is as good as could be expected of one, not himself a practical experimenter or investigator, but a conscientious and scholarly student of literature, ancient and contemporary. This point is critical as it frees him of the certain prejudice a trained scientist may have given to different schools of thought. Therefore the reader is presented with a clear, unbiased view of the concepts, perceptions, and achievements of a host of historically important scientists and philosophers through Porta's writings. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.…

Osleriana 3719 The ancient "science" of character-reading from physiognomy saw it's Renaissance revival in della Porta's widely influential book - one of the first such manuals to be illustrated -, which itself was the ultimate foundation of Lavater's revival of the idea in the late 18th century. Porta himself was a major figure in the emergence of natural science, though in typical Renaissance fashion he combined elements of credulity with recognition of the importance of experiment and experiential confirmation of preconceived theories. Porta's most famous botanical work, Phytognomonica - This edition was published in Rouen in 1650, 62 years after the first edition appeared in Naples in 1588. It is sometimes held that della Porta was the real originator of the botanical Doctrine of Signatures in any approximation to a scientific form. The theory was that Divine Providence had formed plants in such a way as to indicate the ailments they would cure, e.g. a walnut looked like the human brain, so would cure head ailments. The illustrations of the 'Phytognomonica' are helpful in interpreting Porta's view. The part of man's body which is healed by a particular herb, or the animal whose bites or stings can be cured by it, are represented in the same woodcut as the herb. The back view of a human head with a thick crop of hair is introduced into the block with the Maidenhair Fern, which is an ancient specific for baldness; a Pomegranate with its seeds exposed, and a plant of 'Toothwort,' with its hard, white scale-leaves, are represented in the same figure as a set of human teeth'. (Arber, Herbals p. 209) A scorpion completes a picture of plants with articulated seed vessels; a shoot of heliotrope is also included, since, to Porta's vivid imagination its curved flower spike recalled a scorpion's tail (Arber, Herbals pp. 251-2) Arber also notes the influence of this work on the herbalists of the next century, notably Johann Popp, William Cole and Nicholas Culpeper, all exponents of Paracelsus and Porta, in their theories of Astrological Botany. Giambattista della Porta (1535? 4 February 1615), also known as Giovanni Battista Della Porta, was an Italian scholar, polymath and playwright who lived in Naples at the time of the Scientific Revolution and Reformation.Giambattista della Porta spent the majority of his life on scientific endeavors. He benefited from an informal education of tutors and visits from renowned scholars. His most famous work, first published in 1558, is entitled Magiae Naturalis (Natural Magic). In this book he covered a variety of the subjects he had investigated, including occult philosophy, astrology, alchemy, mathematics, meteorology, and natural philosophy. He was also referred to as "professor of secrets". In 1586 della Porta published a work on physiognomy, De Humana Physiognomonia libri IV (1586). This influenced the Swiss eighteenth-century pastor Johann Kaspar Lavater as well as the 19th century criminologist Cesare Lombroso. "Porta was one of the pioneers of the scientific outlook, not himself a discoverer but a popularizer . We are prone to think today of physiognomy as antiscientific, but it was in fact a way of emphasizing the dependence of behavior on body.…
