For the toothache: Write upon a piece of paper: "Quosum sinioba zenni tantus lect veri," and hang it on a string over the back.

Here we offer a wonderfully rare collection of ancient magical formulas, spells, and some actual real cures and chemical formulas in three indexed volumes in one binding; translated from the German, and attributed to the fabled Dark Ages alchemist and Catholic saint, Albertus Magnus.  The book is lengthily entitled: Albertus Magnus; Being the Approved, Verified, Sympathetic and Natural Egyptian Secrets; White and Black Art; for Man and Beast... (there's much more.) The book was published by de Laurence, Scott & Company, Chicago in 1930, though this copy is undated (magic books often re undated, as they were sold in specialty stores and sat longer on the shelf). It comes with a very high quality facsimile of its original dust jacket, printed with archival inks on acid-free bond.

Boards are soiled and worn, especially at the head and foot of the spine (please see pics.)  Intact endpages are uninscribed. A few fingerprints and light smudges within.  Very tight and square binding; text and illustrations are very bright and crisp. Measures approximately 8 x 5.5-inches with 208 pages. Dust jacket comes wrapped in mylar, ready to slip into your collection.

This rare work of occult literature will make a very special addition to your collection or an intriguing gift for a very special person.
