The Magus. Or Celestial Intelligencer; Being a Complete System of Occult Philosophy.

York Beach, ME: Samuel Weiser Inc., 2000. First Edition Thus. Hardcover, Large Quarto (approx 11 1/2 x 9 inches), xvi + 176pp. + 198pp. Decorated Maroon cloth with gilt device Frontisportrait. Color & b/w plates. Diagrams, etc. A facsimile reprint of the first (1801) edition of Barrett's influential magical treatise. The work played an important part in inspiring the nineteenth century occult revival, and its influence can surely be seen in the studies of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley, et al. Perhaps the best modern edition: the five color plates have been reproduced from the originals using modern methods for color accuracy not achieved in previous reprints. Attractive hardcover printing. An unused copy with just a hint of shelf-wear, still in Fine condition in mylar protected near Fine dust jacket. A large, moderately heavy volume that due to its size will require additional shipping charges to the amount automatically quoted, the exact cost varying according to destination. Item #70040
