Outside of occult circles, why does his work tend to get ignored?

Obviously all of the Pliny references in Book I have aged pretty roughly, but to Agrippa's credit, Pliny and Aristotle were the authorities on "natural philosophy" for over a millennia before the Renaissance.

As it stands, Agrippa's work at the very least is novel, at least in it's attempt to bring together the philosophy of the pagans, the Jews, the Christians, and his model of spirituality, while maybe naive when you get into the nitty gritty historical accuracies, is honestly weirdly inspiring and empowering.

I'm curious if any other Anons have taken a deep dive into his opus.

I have an early 1600’s copy of uncertainty and vanity of science, with nobility and excellence of the female sex. It’s pretty neat.
