Item description from seller

AS NEW HARDBACK. Limited Edition of 144 copies, each bearing a talisman embedded in the cover, bound in quarter sheepskin leather, every copy is different. Page edges sprinkled. "Sibly wrote the original manuscript c.1800, translating its core from French but also writing many additions including a preface and the talisman designs. The text is entirely different from the Key of Solomon as translated and published by McGregor Mathers. The occult bookseller John Denly (Mr. D. in Bulwer Lytton’s Introduction to Zanoni) sold Sibley’s manuscript for an extraordinary sum to the Duke of Wentworth but whilst in his possession he arranged for Frederick Hockley to make a copy. This copy was then copied by a youthful Robert Cross in 1868 who went one to become the seventh Raphiel, issuing a famous astrological almanac and other books relating to occultism. At some point the copy made by Cross was acquired by Major Irwin, who placed his bookplate upon the preliminaries plus also a cut out of the catalogue description of the Hockley copy (Manuscript…copied from very rare original manuscript with diagrams exquisitely done by a professor). The books offered here is a facsimile reproductions of Irwin copy, also reproducing his bookplate and the catalogue entry. It should be noted that each individual sheet of the original is reproduced, and then the book has been hand sewn in the same sections as the original. So, it is hard to tell from the pages that it is not the original manuscript. Irwin’s bookplate, plus the bookplate on the front pastedown that identifies it as a S.E.E. publication, are both printed on Griffin Mill handmade papers." NO DJ, as Published. NO remainder mark. | SHIPS AIRMAIL INTERNATIONALLY.
