The Magus: A Complete System of Occult Philosophy by Francis Barrett. First edition thus (The first time this particular edition has been published.), bound in maroon cloth with gilt device frontisportrait. Published in 2000 by Samuel Weiser, Inc. Here is an excerpt from the publisher: “A facsimile reprint of the first (1801) edition of Barrett's influential magical treatise. The work played an important part in inspiring the nineteenth century occult revival, and its influence can surely be seen in the studies of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley, et al. Perhaps the best modern edition: the five color plates have been reproduced from the originals using modern methods for color accuracy not achieved in previous reprints. Attractive hardcover printing.” Book is in used but good condition with small discoloration at the bottom right edges of the pages, please see pictures.
