Elucidation of Necromancy Lucidarium Artis Nigromantice attributed to Peter of Abano: Including a new translation of his Heptameron or Elements of ... and commentary by Joseph H. Peterson

Product Description \nSince it first appeared over 500 years ago, the
Elucidation of Necromancy (Lucidarium artis Nigromantice) and the closely related
Heptameron have become essential guides for individuals seeking to call on angels and other supernatural beings for help. Countless amulets and pendants have been made with its designs, and elements have repeatedly been adapted and incorporated into other manuals of ritual magic. In spite of this, neither a critical edition nor a translation has been previously published. In particular three manuscripts of
Lucidarium have come to light recently, which provide a clearer and fuller ritual than the printed
Heptameron. For example, they add critical instructions for making the seven angel sigils, which have become so widely known. Together they bring to life this important current of esoteric tradition, showing how it has been repeatedly adapted and used by different individuals for centuries.\nAbout the Author
