Description

Albertus Magnus; or Egyptian Secrets by Edmund Kelly This little Silesian spell-book contains spells and remedies for man and beast. Its origins are unclear, but it is believed to have first appeared in Braband, with a second expanded edition printed in Cologne in 1725. The book's contents suggest a connection to the Roma Gypsies, who were mistakenly believed to have originated in Egypt. The book's use of the term "Egyptian" is more a generic term for magic, rather than a reference to actual lore of the Roma. It was eventually used to refer to Eastern wise men or wizards. This collection of spells and remedies provides a unique insight into the mystical practices of the time. With 286 pages of content, this paperback edition is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of magic and the Roma Gypsies.
