Carfax Monographs V. Vinum Sabbati. Magical zoomorphisms of the Witche's Sabbath interpreted in the light of ancient symbols by Kenneth Grant.

London: Privately Published, [1961]. First edition. Softcover. Folio. A single large sheet of pale grey printed card, folded to make four 13 x 8 inch 'pages.' Extensive printed text on pages two and four, and an original pen and ink design HAND-COLOURED with water colour and gold and silver paints by Steffi Grant tipped onto page three (the one facing the reader, when it is opened). In his bibliography Henrik Bogdan describes this as "an original coloured pen and ink drawing by Steffi Grant" but as the few examples we have seen are identical in outline, we presume that a template was made from the original black and white drawing and copies reproduced, which she then hand-coloured. Edition limited to 100 numbered copies, of which this is No. 17. This copy signed by Kenneth Grant at the end of the text. The fifth of a series of ten monographs that aimed to explore different aspects of the Western occult tradition, published by Kenneth and Steffi Grant between 1959 and 1963. Original copies, as this, are extremely scarce. Some staining and discoloration to pages one and four (which also serve as the covers), of which page four is the worst. Fortunately the staining has not gone through to the inside, other than for a tiny bit of light discoloration to the extreme outer margin, so the design by Steffi Grant and the inside text page are unaffected. A few small chips to the corners, front wrapper a little grubby. A Good + copy. Item #34326
