THE GRIMOIRE OF HONORIUS: THE IRWIN MANUSCRIPT full colour facsimile of the unique manuscript copied by F.G.Irwin circa 1868. Hand bound in reptile embossed pelaque with iridescent green silk, title label, title gilt to spine. An exceptional example of a fully preserved black magic text reproduced in full. The text is in two parts. The first is a Grimoire written in 17th Century France and spuriously attributed to the much earlier Pope. The second part is an extensive collection of charms and spells from folk magic and the practise of cunning sorcery.
The original pages were in a 19th century lined notebook composed of two types of notepaper (lined wove ivory and a further light blue fine notepaper for the illustrations and additional material). The page size has been slightly enlarged to aid reading and page numbers have been added to ease reference while working with this grimoire. A beautifully scribed text with all illustrations and contents in place, a highly unusual work.
