Three Books of Occult Philosophy by Cornelius Agrippa
0.25
Henry Cornelius Agrippa is the definition of someone who believes everything he reads or hears from others. He even mistook some Greco-Roman satires as nonfiction. I wonder how many people have died or gotten seriously ill after taking this guy's medical advice.
At best this is a compilation of all the stupidest things that medieval Europeans believed in, but it's not even worth reading for historical purposes or entertainment because it's not actually interesting. He seems like the kind of person who struggles with basic arithmetic so he deifies numbers themselves. The sad thing is that people still believe in a good chunk of this garbage.
