Sepher Rezial Hemelach. The Book of the Angel Rezial.

York Beach, Maine: Samuel Weiser, 2000. Deluxe Edition. Hardcover. Octavo. 302pp. Half black leather with gilt titling and rules with raised bands on spine, marbled papered boards with matching marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, b&w sigils and illustrations, index. A professionally-bound deluxe edition arranged by the author. According to the limitation statement, which is on a printed quarter-sheet tipped onto the first blank, the edition was limited to 100 signed and hand numbered copies, with this being copy no. 3. However, it is known that in fact far fewer than that number were actually produced, and it is consequently most uncommon. This copy warmly INSCRIBED, and SIGNED, by Savedow to Clive Harper on the half title page. Steve Savedow's "Sepher Rezial Hemelach" was the first contemporary English edition of this famous, anonymous, magical text, having been translated by him from the rare 1701 Hebrew edition published in Amsterdam. Clive Harper's discreet book-label neatly tipped in at the rear. Harper is well- known as the bibliographer of Austin Osman Spare, for updating the Aleister Crowley bibliography in the 2011 Teitan Press collection of Gerald Yorke's writings, and as someone who has lent his expertise to numerous other publications over the years. Tiny ink-stamp of the book-binder, Paul Sawyer, on the final blank. Appears as new thus in Fine condition. A lovely copy of a truly scarce edition with an interesting provenance. Item #66480
