Albertus Magnus; or Egyptian Secrets

Meer over het boek

Featuring a collection of spells and remedies for both humans and animals, this Silesian spell-book offers a unique glimpse into historical magical practices. First published in Braband and later expanded in Cologne in 1725, it reflects the misconceptions surrounding the term "Egyptian," which inaccurately connects magic to Roma Gypsies. The book's content reveals little about actual Egyptian lore, instead using "Egyptian" as a broad reference to magic and wise figures from the East.
