1958 Witchcraft Magic & Alchemy De Givry 1st American HC DJ Unclipped Occult
Occult history / witchcraft / magic / alchemy. A visually commanding reference work exploring centuries of esoteric traditions, supernatural beliefs, ritual practices, sorcery, demonology, magical symbolism, and alchemical imagery.
A Pictorial Anthology of Witchcraft, Magic & Alchemy by Grillot de Givry, translated by J. Courtenay Locke. First American Edition published by University Books in 1958, reproducing the original English edition published in 1931.
This substantial 394-page volume features an extraordinary collection of 376 illustrations gathered from occult manuscripts and historical sources dating from the Middle Ages through the early nineteenth century. The imagery documents witches, magicians, alchemists, demons, supernatural manifestations, ritual objects, talismans, symbols, astrology, divination, and related esoteric traditions.
An exceptional reference for collectors of witchcraft, occult history, alchemy, folklore, comparative religion, supernatural belief systems, and historic symbolism.
Hardcover retains its scarce original purple-and-green illustrated dust jacket, which is unclipped with the original $10.00 price clearly present on the front flap. The book remains solid and visually attractive, with expected age toning to the page edges. The dust jacket shows light-to-moderate edge wear, rubbing, creasing, and several small chips and closed tears, primarily around the spine ends and corners, but remains notably well preserved for this vulnerable jacket. Protected in a clear removable cover.
Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact condition. A desirable First American Edition with tremendous shelf presence and exceptionally rich visual content.
