The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage (1932 Version)

The Book of Abramelin tells the story of an Egyptian mage named Abramelin, or Abra-Melin, who taught a system of magic to Abraham of Worms, a German Jew presumed to have lived from c.1362–c.1458. The system of magic from this book regained popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries due to the efforts of Mathers' translation, The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, its import within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and later within the mystical system of Thelema (created in 1904 by Aleister Crowley).

This 1932 version of The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, as delivered by Abraham the Jew unto His Son Lamech: A Grimoire of the Fifteenth Century, was translated by S. L. MacGregor-Mathers from an old and rare French manuscript in the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal at Paris, and was prepared for publication in the United States of America under the editorship of L. W. de Laurence. It is composed of a 30-page-long introduction given by MacGregor-Mathers, together with his translation of the original trilogy.

Please note: This digital reprint is NOT a widely-available, e-Text version. Instead, it is a top-quality, electronic facsimile version of the actual book printed in 1948, which completely retains the original pagination and typeset.
