A reprinted bound manuscript of Johann Trithemius' The Art of Drawing Spirits into Crystals.
This work is a treatise on exactly what is said in the title. As well, Trithemius provides a "Table of the names of Spirits and Planets governing the Hours; so thou shalt easily know by inspection, what Spirit and Planet governs every Hour of the Day and Night in the Week".
Great as a conversation piece or for anyone interested in renaissance magic, literature, art, book arts, alchemy, occultism, esoterica, philosophy, or ancient history. Has the look and feel of a real manuscript.
