'''''Libri tres de occulta philosophia''''' (Latin: ''Three Books about Occult Philosophy'') is [[Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa]]'s penetrating study of '[[Occult Philosophy]]', widely acknowledged as a significant contribution to the Renaissance philosophical discussion concerning the powers of [[ritual magic]] and its relationship with [[religion]].

In a discriminating revival Agrippa pursued the 'natural' magic of [[Marsilio Ficino]] and [[Pico della Mirandola]], while relating it to [[Johann Reuchlin]]'s synthesis of magic and religion. Agrippa broadens the ideas he found in his sources to forge a much more comprehensive conception of the occult. The critical edition of ''De occulta philosophia'' clarifies a number of controversies about the interpretation of this magical work. More generally, this Renaissance ''[[magus]]'' proves to be driven by a deep scholarly curiosity, which seeks to come to grips with the intellectual and religious problems of his time.
