was stoned by the natives, and carried off by a Genoese vessel, on board 
of which he died off the coast of Majorca, March 26, 1315. For an 
account of his art, which he said was revealed to him on a mountain, see 
Maurice’s Medizeval Philosophy, pp. 244 &c. Cornelius Agrippa sa 
of it, ‘herein I wil admonishe you, that this Arte “auaileth more ihe 
outwarde shewe of the witte, and to the ostentation of ] Learning, than to 
gette knowledge: and hath much more presumptuousnesse, than effi 
cacie” Of the Vanitie and Uncertaintie of Artes and Sciences, cap. 9

for the plural. [18] The Latin adds, Rhetorica certe Phantasie quemad-

what logic is to the understanding. [23] morality: Lat. Erhicam, ethics
