Description:
1638 Garzoni Professions of Italy MAGIC Astrology Alchemy Sorcery Conjurors RARETommaso Garzoni was a 16th-century Italian author whose works popularized him throughout Europe. One of his best works was his "Professions of the World" in which he discusses the most common professions from around Italy during the 16th-century; however, this book is notable for Garzoni's descriptions of magicians, conjurers, alchemists, astrologers, law enforcers and criminals, and prostitutes. 'La Piazza Universale" provides an excellent look into the daily life of 16th-century Italy.
