Ah, yes. I had seen criticisms of Barrett and Laurence for cribbing from Agrippa; in the case of Barrett, that was obvious enough, with diagrams and mystical alphabets copied over, but you have truly supplied a smoking gun of plagiarism.

LOL. I got a chuckle out of that post. Yes, Barrett was a bold-faced plagiarist, nothing more. And De Laurence was a pirate publisher who thought nothing of putting his own name on the works of other men. Let's hope both men are burning in hell together.

I thought the really funny part was where Laurence substituted names with inventions like Bxuzin, Muxdinba, and Ximandibuz. These are supposed to be Hindus, but they are extremely unconvincing (not to mention that he left Demetrius unaltered in the middle of these purported Hindu names). Actually, the last one would make a pretty good name in a Vancian or Klarkash-Tonian type fantasy. Once I get writing some fantasy again, I just might have to see what I can plunder from Laurence--
