The Mysteries & Secrets Of Magic
A survey of magical practice from Egypt and Babylonia to medieval Europe, written by the museum curator and pharmacy historian C. J. S. Thompson and published in London in 1927 for general readers. The plates are hard black line redrawings of manuscript and monument sources: a winged angel of the sun, robed magicians inside inscribed circles, and an Egyptian healing stele crowded with registers of hieroglyphs.
