July 8, 2020

Pietro d’Abano is remembered for being many things: physician, philosopher, astrologer and, more controversially, a magician. Read all about the 7 spirits he apparently conjured and kept in 7 crystal vases, as well as his belief behind fusing the worlds of science and astrology together.
