--------

This book has a very nice new binding in perfect condition with four raised bands and gold text on spine. The text is generally bright and clean, but it has some very small tears, some spots and some foxing throughout.

This grimoire also known as the little Albert is said to contain the secrets of Albertus Magnus the great scholar of the middle ages. The date of the book is very strange. I have not been able to locate any other copy similar to it in any physical location or in any catalogues.This makes it a quite rare copy of this sought after grimoire. I would however guess from the typography that it is from around 1840.

It has many diagrams and folding illustrations throughout.
