Who wrote a History of Magic?

The "History of Magic" you are referring to is likely the book by W. B. Yeats, published in 1911.

It's a fascinating work exploring the history of magic and occult practices throughout history. However, it's important to note that Yeats' work is more focused on the history of magical beliefs and traditions rather than a purely factual account of historical events.

There are other books titled "History of Magic" by different authors, but Yeats' is the most well-known.
