The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin is a grimoire, or book of magic, written in the 15th century by an unknown author. The book details a system of magic that is said to have been taught to the author by an Egyptian magician named Abra-Melin. The system involves invoking and communicating with powerful spirits, known as the Holy Guardian Angel and the 12 Kings and Dukes of Hell, in order to gain knowledge and power. The book includes instructions for performing a six-month-long ritual, during which the practitioner must live in isolation and follow strict dietary and behavioral restrictions. The book was translated into English by S.L. MacGregor Mathers, a prominent member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, in the late 19th century. Today, the Book of the Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin remains a popular and influential text in the Western occult tradition.This rare and unique manuscript, from which the present work is translated, is a French translation from the original Hebrew of Abraham the Jew.
