Book description: "A One Of A Kind" The true first edition of The MAGUS has proved to be the most sought after book on magic and alchemy ever written. The book was first published in 1801 by its author, Francis Barrett, who had spent many years diligently and extensively studying medieval magic and occult sciences. Most of the few hundred surviving copies can only be found in certain libraries and private collections locked away from the general rare book market. The MAGUS includes much information from various magical works that are otherwise unavailable to the masses. The essence of the content is aimed toward the true student of occult seeking the key to the philosopher's stone and the powers of magic. Within its structure the work includes the important information of magical tool construction and consecration. The stunning illustrations were taken from ancient and medieval texts, magical tables, planetary tables, talismans and images of angels and demons. Book One covers natural magic, amulets and charms, potions, precious stones, lights, candles, alchemy, the philosopher's stone, transmutation, the four elements, numbers, and planets. Book Two covers magnetic powers, Cabalistic magic, the names of angels and spirits, the performing of invocations, conjuring spirits, magic circles, receiving oracles in dreams, positive and evil spirits, and concludes with a major biographical section on the great occultists throughout the history. For the student of magical history and practice, the book is a necessity ; for the true collector, it is a crown jewel of his rare-occult book library. DESCRIPTION: The book has a beautiful appearance. It was re-bound in 3/4 black goat skin & marble at least 50 years ago. Size: 7 1/4" wide x 10" tall x 1" thick. Publisher: LONDON: Lackington, Allen 1801. The title page is facsimile professionally done on aged-acid-free paper. Some points of proof that this book is, indeed, a true first edition and not an 1875 facsimile are: 1.

(except for the title page, 1875 reprint's text is printed with modern "s") 2.There are 4 color plates (reprint has 5 colored plates) Includes the complete original in-text and full page illustrations.
