L’occulte en Italie entre astrologie, athéisme et nigromancie (xiv^e-xvii^e siècle) Éléments de réflexion

The argument about the occult and its rational understanding is quite complicated. Here, I propose some reflections on the relationship between demonology and astrology in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. This paper studies the demonological and astrological debate occurred between the xiv^th and xvii^th century ; how this debate had an enormous influence on the process of rational understanding of the occult.
