Given the wealth of material at the disposal of the student of the Renaissance, one might well wonder whether there is a need which can be uniquely met by Mebane 's contribution. Yes, there is. Mebane 's scholarly and lucid accounts of the Neoplatonic, Hermetic, and cabalistic components of Renaissance magical thinking, and his discussions of how occult philosophy fits into the intellectual and political history of the period, will be of great value to those who are new to the study of Renaissance occultism and feel overwhelmed with the mass of material, often highly technical, which confronts them. Mebane 's reviews of the scholarship pertaining to his various subjects, his extensive notes, and his substantial bibliography are a boon to all readers
