Footnotes
The De sensu rerum et magia is "Très rare. . .Un des plus curieux livres de magie" (Caillet). One of Campanella's most important works, he investigates natural divination, natural magic and occult occurrences, in an exposition of his view that all nature is sentient. Accused of magic, atheism and treason the author was imprisoned from 1599 to 1626 for heresy, during which time this work was published, edited by Tobias Adam. Later editions were expurgated.
Provenance: (First work) Edward Synge (1614-78, Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross), ownership inscription on title; by descent to Edward Synge junior (1691-1762). (Second work) Abbaye de Citeaux, armorial stamp on upper cover, and inscription on title and 2 text leaves.
