A Pictorial Anthology Of Witchcraft, Magic, And Alchemy By Emile Grillot De Givry
Publishing: 1958 by University Books, First American Edition
“Complete with the most comprehensive collection of symbols and illustrations (376 of them), ever gathered from the vast store of occult manuscripts dating from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the nineteenth century. This iconography is the only volume of its kind, and constitutes such a broad coverage of manifestations and practices attributed to sorcerers, magicians, and alchemists that it deserves a prominent place in the library of every person-even those only slightly interested in the occult.” SUPER RARE
Condition: Very Good+ / DJ condition is VG+
“Such are the mystery of human destiny, the problems of chance and fate, and the knowledge of the future–matters, all of them, which by the wisest were left in the lordship of an Infinite and Supreme Being, while the most daring desired to reduce them to a true science accessible to mortals, in spite of their weakness and limited intelligence.
In brief, the riddles of the whole universe, of the Cosmos and all its parts, and of this globe upon which man lives without knowing whence he derives his origin, were all explained as yet, in default of any analytic or experimental science, by the intervention of the powers of that other mysterious world in which one could hardly adventure but with dread and shuddering.” - Emile Grillot De Givry; A Pictorial Anthology Of Witchcraft, Magic, and Alchemy
