商品簡介
Sitting a block away from the U.S. Capitol, the Folger Shakespeare Library holds one of the most unusual manuscripts of magic ever discovered. The book was written around the year 1580, a decade before Shakespeare began writing in earnest. This is a manual of magicians in search of results, who scribbled down whatever secrets they could find.
One of the most unusual collections of magical lore ever assembled, The Book of Oberonincludes:
- Rituals for summoning several different spirits, including Oberon (one of the main characters of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream), Satan, Mosacus, Birto, and others
- A ceremony to call Baron, a spirit associated with the notorious Gilles de Rais
- Several intriguing drawings of spirits and other curious beings
- A list of spirits similar to, but predating, that found in the magical manual the Goetia
- Lore and rituals for the summoning of fairies
- Pages of talismans for various purposes
- One of the oldest known copies of the magical manual The Enchiridion, said to have been given to Charlemagne by Pope Leo III
- Charms for toothache, bleeding, and the capture of thieves
- Headings and words written in cipher, most of which we have managed to decipher
- An account of a mystical brotherhood of magicians that seems to have ties to the conspiracy against the author and playwright Christopher Marlowe
