Sinopsis

AMERICAN ENGLISH EDITION

This companion and follow-up book to Shah’s Oriental Magic surveys the source literature on magic, much of it translated into English for the first time.

First published in 1957, The Secret Lore of Magic is a compendium of material from rare source books describing magical beliefs and practices around the world, and throughout history.

Together with Oriental Magic it provides one of the widest-ranging studies of human magical belief systems, and is thus a priceless reference for psychologists, ethnologists and others interested in the rise and development of human beliefs.

The Secret Lore of Magic helps readers understand what magic is and isn’t, while offering dependable information about what was previously a shadowy and confusing subject.

Reseña del editor

First published in 1957, The Secret Lore of Magic contains within it a series of major source-books of magical arts. Many of them translated into English for the first time, these works are annotated and fully illustrated. The book's title in itself signalled the fact that the bulk of material in this bibliographical study had never been published openly before. Together with Oriental Magic which appeared in the preceding year, it provided a complete survey of fundamental magical literature, and thus a comprehensive reference system for psychologists, ethnologists and others interested in the rise and development of human beliefs. Both books also introduced the general reader to dependable information about what was a shadowy and confusing subject.
