| | Of the four Elements, according to H. Cornelius Agrippa |
 | | Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535), on the first chapters of his 'de occulta philosophia' explains how those Elements don’t appear “pure”, but mixed and apt to be changed one into the other. |
 | | Cornelius Agrippa validate his theory with Plato thought, adding to them qualities such as hot and dry (Fire), dry and cold (Earth), cold and moist (Water), moist and hot (Aire) and other qualities that distinguish and oppose them, such as brightness, thinness and motion, darkness, thickness and quietness. |
 | | Agrippa concludes that “Elements therefore are to be found every where, and in all things after their manner, no man can deny: First in these inferiour bodies feculent and gross, and in Celestials more pure, and clear; but in supercelestials living, and in all respects blessed. |
