Heinrich Cornelius (Cornelius) Agrippa Nettesheim - (1486, Cologne - 1536, Grenoble) - philosopher, theologian, astrologer, doctor, writer, lawyer, engineer, historiographer, military man, diplomat, alchemist, magician. Better known as Agrippa from Nettesheim. Agrippa took the name in honor of the founder of his hometown.
In childhood, he was the secretary of Emperor Maximilian I. At the age of 12 he entered the University of Paris. There he entered the secret order of the Rosicrucians.
His extraordinary mind easily found adventure for its owner. In the biography of Heinrich Agrippa, it is not the abundance of problems in his life that is surprising, but the fact that his books did not bring the author to execution or to death from the poison of colleagues and envious people, from the blade of a hired killer or religious fanatic...
Heinrich Cornelius from Nettesheim taught theology, but for his bold treatises and lectures he was repeatedly expelled from his native and non-native places. He first fled his homeland in 1509, when he wrote and published a treatise that you will have the pleasure of reading. Agrippa sent this text "Speech on the superiority of the female sex over the male" to Margarita of Austria, daughter of King Maximilian, who owned Burgundy.

"As evidence of his point of view, Heinrich Agrippa cited arguments from the literary works of philosophers and fathers of the Church, and even from the Bible. For example, he argued that a woman is the crown of God's creation, since God, having created a woman, no longer created anything. God made only a woman from living flesh, and a man, like everything else, from dust. God endowed a woman with a greater ability to speak, because speech is a gift from God to man. When God forbade a man to eat the fruit of knowledge, the woman was not yet created at that time and, therefore, was innocent. God hid the feminine nature, while the masculine - flaunted, so punishing the sinner..."
So let's get down to business. A woman is as superior to a man as the meaning of her given name exceeds the meaning of the man's name: after all, Adam means earth, but Eve is translated - life.
So he created at first angels and souls not subject to decay; according to Augustine, the soul of our progenitor was created before the creation of bodies, that is, simultaneously with the angels. Then the Lord created bodies that are not subject to decay - the sky and stars, as well as elements that are not amenable to decay, but subordinate to all kinds of changes. The elements served as material for everything else that is subject to decomposition, and, rising again from the lowest to the highest, He rushed to the perfection of the world. Therefore, first came minerals, then plants, herbs and trees, followed by zoophytes, and finally unreasonable animals in the following order: reptiles, swimming, flying, four-legged. And at the end of the act of creation, He created two people like Himself: first a man, and then a woman, and heaven and earth were perfected in her, she is a decoration of heaven and earth. After all, a woman is the crown of creation, As if the creator did not find anything more beautiful, and in her, in a woman, he concluded and perfected all his wisdom and creative power - and it is impossible to find or invent a more perfect creation.
So: since a woman is the crown of creation, the highest completion of all the works of the Creator, who would dare to deny that she surpasses everything that exists, and without her the world, perfect to the last epic and perfect in all manifestations, would remain imperfect, because its perfection is crowned with creation much more perfect than all others?

The superiority of a woman over a man is also in the nobility of origin: after all, she was created (on this score there is abundant information in the Holy Scriptures) together with the angels in Paradise, that is, in the place of the most honorable and most beautiful; and a man was created outside Paradise, in a field with unreasonable animals. And only later, in order to create a woman, he was relocated to Paradise. Therefore, a woman has a special gift of nature, the Lord endowed her with a certain habit of the highest position: no matter how unglamorous she looks down, she will not experience dizziness, and her eyes will not be clouded, like a man's. And if a woman is in trouble with a man, for example, without help in a stormy sea, she will stay afloat longer, a man, but she will go to the bottom faster.
Next argument. Woman and matter surpasses man, for it was created not from inanimate and low earth, like a man, but from purified, life-giving and animated matter, that is, from a rational soul, involved in the divine spirit. Man is created by God from the earth, which by its nature and the power of heavenly influence gives birth to different living beings. And neither heaven nor nature took part in the creation of women - God himself, without any other forces, created a complete, perfect being. The man, Adam, lost only one rib - from which the woman was created: Eve from the sleeping Adam, he did not even wake up when the Lord took out his rib and gave it to the woman. Therefore, a man is a work of nature, and a woman is a work of God.
