Albertus Magnus (c. 1200-15 November 1280) , also known as Saint Albert the Great or Albert of Cologne, was a German Dominican friar, philosopher, scientist, and bishop. Later canonised as a Catholic saint, he was known during his lifetime as Doctor universalis and Doctor expertus and, late in his life, the sobriquet Magnus was appended to his name. Scholars such as James A. Weisheipl and Joachim R. Söder have referred to him as the greatest German philosopher and theologian of the Middle Ages. One of the most cited books and influences of the Pennslyania Dutch system of braucherei healing and folk magic. The history and printing of the books are somewhat trivial. Most likely written in the 18th century for practical uses and heavily influenced Georg Hohman's "Long Lost Friend." Highly doubtful these 18th and 19th century texts were written by the scholar St. Magnus, however, the depth of fascination and practical use is unquestionable.
