Part 2 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 classical authors - Cicero, Virgil, Catullus, and Caesar - 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 "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.
I've manually set the Closed Captioning for this episode, but I'm not sure that I will do this every time as it is very time consuming (and this goes against one of the principles I had for this series, as explained in the first episode).
