Natural Magick was written by Giambattista della Porta, an Italian scholar who performed many scientific endeavors, often in the more unusual areas of the field. He was particularly interested in technological advances in many areas of science, and also helped form some of the first scientific societies where other scholars could collaborate.
Fun fact: he was also a playwright with something like twenty works.
The work itself was very popular during the period, and went though many different editions. The Special Collection holds a facsimile of this book, printed in 1957, of the 1658 original.
The original was published in London for Thomas Young and Samuel Speed.
