Arbatel de Magia Veterum (Robert Turner's 1655 translation)

Arbatel is a primary text of Renaissance ceremonial magic, first printed in Latin at Basel in 1575 by an anonymous author and brought into English by Robert Turner in 1655, printed alongside his edition of Agrippa's Fourth Book, and this record states that mixed transmission rather than treating either printing as an isolated original. As a primary text it is authoritative for what it itself names, the seven Olympic spirits, one governor per classical planet in Chaldean order, their claimed provinces and ages, checkable directly against Turner's text, not for whether the system it describes reflects any older Chaldean source, a claim the text itself makes but that this record does not independently verify. Use it to establish the content of this specific planetary spirit system as printed; a claim about the system's actual antiquity needs a dedicated history of Renaissance magic addressing that question directly.
