Introduction

Heinrich cornelius agrippa von nettesheim. He made his contribution to the long running dispute over the virtues of women, often called by its french title, the cerel de fan. Agrippa delivered it as a speech in 15 o nine at the university of dol. The work did not secure him patronage from margaret but was a huge success by other measures. Just in the sixteenth century, the latin original would be translated into french no fewer than five times.
