Part 5 of the 'De Arte et Mysteriis' Latin podcast, which serves to provide brief explanations of concepts and texts in the history of western esotericism in simple, comprehensible Latin. Most Latin resources on this platform focus on either classical or Biblical authors - Cicero, Virgil, Catullus, Caesar, and St. Jerome - and as much as I love those channels, they inspired me to put together a series of my own. My goal is to focus on brief episodes that would help students build up their volume of "comprehensible input" with simple Latin discussions centered on the works of Medieval and Renaissance magicians, astrologers, alchemists, and philosophers. Here, we'll read and discuss brief excerpts of Latin found in magical texts, grimoires, and philosophical treatises - from Picatrix to Ficino, and Agrippa to Kircher - and we'll attempt to do so entirely in Latin.
You can find our translation of 'Picatrix: A Medieval Treatise on Astral Magic' from David Pingree's Latin edition here:
