This hardcover reproduction of Antipalus Maleficiorum brings to light the work of Abbot Johannes Trithemius, the teacher of Cornelius Agrippa and Paracelsus. It contains a detailed list of 103 of Trithemius' grimoires, the most complete inventory of magical manuscripts in existence at that time.
Originally written in 1508 and translated by Dr. Stephen Skinner and Daniel Clark, Antipalus Maleficiorum is more accessible than ever. This book catalogs important Solomonic, astral, and talismanic texts that make up the source material for Agrippa's influential Three Books of Occult Philosophy. It also shows the detailed nature of early nigromancy (black magic) literature, specifically regarding the evocation of spirits and demons.
