Dell'incertitudine E Della Vanità Delle Scienze by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa
atque excellentia verbi Dei
A sharp Renaissance polemic that surveys the arts and sciences to expose their contradictions, instability, and moral corruption. Through satirical catalogues of errors in fields from theology and law to medicine, astrology, and rhetoric, it argues that worldly learning breeds pride and deception rather than virtue, and ultimately urges humility, piety, and reliance on divine wisdom as the only secure path to truth.
