Rare antique esoteric grimoire attributed to Henry Cornelius Agrippa and Peter of Abano, bringing together the Heptameron or Elements of Magic, conjurations, names of angels, ritual circles, and various pentacles. This undated edition, bearing the fictitious address “À Liège,” is a late 19th-century printing, likely linked to the revival of interest in occultism during that period. The copy retains its antique half-sheepskin and marbled paper binding, with ancient handwritten annotations and several esoteric symbols added in the margins, which reinforce its nature as a book of practice.
