BEFORE YOU OPEN THE BOOK

Enter its world.

This small printed volume promises mastery over hidden powers. Its first book leads from preparation and a protected company to a disputed bargain and a guarded treasure. The second introduces an infernal government before another negotiation; appendices add other kinds of secret knowledge, including a mirror attributed to Solomon.

Study the actual French pages alongside independent modern English explanations. The title bears 1521, but this surviving printed object is catalogued as probably about 1850. The course distinguishes the book’s claims from historical evidence and keeps its commands, prayers and contracts in their different contexts.

  • Thirteen substantial lessons with distinct illustrations and source-page reading exercises
  • Complete 116-page French facsimile with both books and historical appendices
  • Close readings of authority, infernal offices, disputed terms and angelic mediation
