The Grimoire Encyclopaedia Volume 1

The Grimoire Encyclopaedia is a work of unparalleled magical scholarship which expands the field of grimoire study far beyond its previous boundaries. Volume 1 offers information on the period before the grimoires as well as a timeline of the books discussed, the spirit hierarchies found in the grimoires, the methods and best practice of conjuring spirits, an extensive table of spirits, and the encyclopaedic entries themselves.

Including one hundred chapters on individual grimoires and important books, and eight huge appendixes, these volumes provide a fresh panoramic view and the most extensive collection of resources ever gathered on the grimoire tradition. David Rankine offers a comprehensive system of exploring the grimoires, from an intensive spirit catalogue to a detailed look at magical tools, magic circles, and more. Spanning hundreds of years and including texts both familiar and strange, this resource will become an instant classic in the field of grimoire studies.
