Apart from his taking exception to the
*Asclepius*, I would say that the greater
part of his editorial commentaries on Ficino
made that rather clear.
This positive regard for magic doesn't appear
to have carried over to his pupil, Bovillus,
though.
Thank you very much for the catalog information.
I was hoping that it would be possible to obtain
your thesis by way of UMI/ProQuest, but it is
really great to have the option of interlibrary
loan between universities. Hopefully, Emily's being
on the faculty at SUNY New Paltz will help expedite
matters. Failing that, I'll just mosey on down to
Columbia for a visit, where my cousin Jonathan is
on the faculty.
Either way, I intend to read this treasure of yours.

I recall a forthcoming edition being mentioned as far
back as Walker's *Spiritual and Demonic Magic*, and
we're still waiting.
Anyone remember Pingree's promise of an Englished
*Picatrix*?
I'm still pondering the matter of grants, but you
may want to consider approaching Routledge and
Taylor & Francis as publishers.
Just a hunch - they are responsible for publishing
Keller's *Face of the Deep* as both treeware and
software, respectively:

And if you haven't already, you might want to join
the discussion over on Adam McLean's Alchemy Academy
list, seeing as how you are dealing with Natural Magic:
