Meaning
Agrippa is cited in two primary marginal contexts: the Great Stone's universal operations and the theological claim about Azazel.
Use in the book
Page 99 gives a precise reference to Occult Philosophy, book 2, chapter 4, in the scale of Unity, beside the extension of the catholic medicine to many kinds of created things. Page 147 names Agrippa among Pico, Capnio, and Scalichius as witnesses to the doctrine of Azazel presented in the body. The two citations support distinct topics; neither should be treated as a substitute for reading the other.
The first points to a book, chapter, and particular organizing figure. The second supplies only a group of names. That difference limits how much source reconstruction is possible. The treatise records Khunrath's appeal to Agrippa, but does not quote enough to identify every source behind the judgement passage.

Translation in this edition
The initials H. C. appear in the first reference. The normalized full name is a lookup aid; no broader biography is needed for these two local uses.
Source note
The alleged doctrine concerning Azazel remains a claim Khunrath attributes to witnesses; listing Agrippa does not independently establish it.
