" Forbidden Rites lays a solid foundation for future research on this topic and establishes a very high scholarly standard." --Frank Klaassen Canadian Journal of History, " Forbidden Rites opens a window onto aspects of late-medieval religion and culture that have often been hidden in the shadows. The material is fascinating, the arguments compelling. . . . All told, this is one of the most important works on late medieval magic from one of its most perceptive historians." --Rudolph Paul Almasy Sixteenth Century Journal, "I was captivated . . . by Forbidden Rites , part of an excellent series under the rubric Magic in History; with wonderful wit and succinct contextual insights, Richard Kieckhefer has edited a German wizard's grimoire, packed with spells for Prospero-like conjurations of phantom banquets and castles in the air, as well as complicated charms, many involving hoopoes, against all manner of ills." --Marina Warner, Times Literary Supplement, &"Forbidden Rites lays a solid foundation for future research on this topic and establishes a very high scholarly standard.&" &-Frank Klaassen, Canadian Journal of History, " Forbidden Rites opens a window onto aspects of late-medieval religion and culture that have often been hidden in the shadows.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Not Just for Practitioners

    As somewhat of snob regarding most books about magic, I have been pleasantly surprised by this one. It's a fairly in-depth examination of not just a fairly well-preserved necromancy text, but also the social, cultural, and psychological impact it and other manuscripts of that ilk made on the people at that time. Keeping that in mind, this is definitely not just a book for people that are into occultism; it's also a favorable find for anyone that has a love of history or early books. All in all, it's informative without being dry and very well-researched. A definite must for any necromancer.
