Book of the Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162569680)

The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin is a mystical text written by S. L. MacGregor Mathers. The book is based on the teachings of Abraham of Worms, a medieval Jewish mystic who claimed to have learned the secrets of magic from an angel. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part detailing the life and teachings of Abraham of Worms, the second part providing instructions for performing the magical rituals and spells, and the third part containing a list of spirits and their attributes. The book is considered to be one of the most important texts in the Western magical tradition, and has been influential in the development of modern occultism. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and practice of magic.This rare and unique manuscript, from which the present work is translated, is a French translation from the original Hebrew of Abraham the Jew. I know of no other existing copy or replica of this in the British Museum whose enormous collection of manuscripts I have thoroughly studied. A fascinating book concerning Nicholas Flamel and his success with the Philosopher's Stone.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
