Mysteriorum Libri Quinque (Hc) By Joseph Peterson

Mysteriorum Libri Quinque the Five Books of Mysteries written by John Dee in the 16th century, remains to this day one of the most important core texts of occult literature and a comprehensive guide to Enochian magic, encompassing language, symbolism, rituals, and practical techniques. This deluxe Weiser Ankh edition is a compilation of John Dees secret spiritual treatises and was prepared from the original manuscript (preserved in the British Library) in Dees own handwriting. These secret writings were discovered long after John Dees death (c. 1609); they had been tucked away in a hidden compartment of an old wooden chest and were remarkably spared from destruction uncovered only a few years before the Great Fire of London in 1666. In these five secret treatises, John Dee, one of the most renowned scholars of the Elizabethan era, records in minute detail his research into the occult. A 6.74" x 10.28" hardcover book with 400 pages.
