French occultism and alchemical scholarship

Witchcraft, Magic & Alchemy

A richly illustrated and scholarly history of the occult arts, primarily focusing on the visual documentation of magic, witchcraft, and alchemy from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. De Givry provides a unique 'museum' of occult iconography, including diagrams of the infernal hierarchy, alchemical laboratories, tarot symbolism, and the tools of the sorcerer. The text is celebrated for its breadth and its focus on the physical artifacts and artistic representations of the occult.
