Sabellicus, Georgius (ca. 1490)
A magician who lived about the same time as the legendary necromancer Faust, at the end of the fifteenth century. Sabellicus's chief claim to fame as a sorcerer rests on his own wide and arrogant advertisement of his skill in necromancy. He styled himself: "The most accomplished Georgius Sabellicus, a second Faustus, the spring and centre of necromantic art, an
astrologer, a magician, consummate in chiromancy, and in agromancy, pyromancy and hydromancy inferior to none that ever lived." However, no proof is forthcoming that he ever substantiated these claims.
