1886 1ed MAGIC Incantations Spells Occult Sorcery Snake Charming Pazig Goldsmid
Edmund Goldsmid was a 19th-century English scholar who had an affection for occult studies and magic. He published a translation of Christianus Pazig’s ‘Magic Incantations’, a curious work of magic spells and sorcery. The first English language work of magic appeared around 1700 and was popular for centuries following; Goldsmid undoubtedly published this work, even though in a small quantity, to appeal to those who wanted to know more of the occult and magic.
This work includes passages from various texts including the Bible, Bodin’s ‘Demonomania’, and Paracelsus’s ‘Magic’. One particularly interesting spell was for charming snakes and serpents – ‘Osii, Osia, Osii’, which according to Edmund, “instantaneously rendered [them] gentle and harmless.”
This printing of this work is curious in that it was limited to 75 large-paper copies and 275 small-paper copies. This edition is one of the 275 small-paper copies, paper-binding as all known examples are.
