About the author

Pietro d'Abano (or Petrus De Apono or Aponensis or Peter of Abano or Pierre d'Aban) was an Italian philosopher, astrologer and professor of medicine in Padua. He gained fame by writing Conciliator Differentiarum, quæ inter Philosophos et Medicos Versantur. He was eventually accused of heresy and atheism, and came before the Inquisition. He died in prison before the end of his trial. A grimoire called the Heptameron is also attributed to him, though ther eis no evidence this was extant or related to his two trials before the Inquisition, which charged him for heresy (astrology) not for magic.

This was really interesting to read.
I bought this book (but another edition) years ago, but I never got around to reading it. Yesterday I started reading this because I needed to do research on angels, and even though I don’t believe anything here, it’s really interesting to read such an old book of this kind. I have previously read Agrippa's collection of 'Three Books of occult philosophy', and both were equally interesting.
I'd say this one is less unhinged than the three-books collection, for anyone wondering.
