The Three Books on Life by Maricilio Ficino
The Three Books on Life is a handbook for helping scholars and philosophers stay healthy, live long lives. The first of the three books offers largely conventional medical advice. But as the work goes on, Ficino delves increasingly into astrology and magic. Straightforwardly magical practices like the wearing of talismans are also discussed.
