Book Details + Condition: Holmes Publishing Group (1992). Moses Gaster's THE SWORD OF MOSES: AN ANCIENT BOOK OF MAGIC. 52 pages, in original printed wrappers. "The Sword of Moses" is a 13th or 14th century Hebrew book of magic, the text of which Moses Gaster first published, along with translation and commentaries, in the original 1896 edition — please see our listing for this very scarce first edition. Gaster himself thought the text to date from somewhere between the 4th and 11th centuries CE. The original manuscript, which was in his personal collection, is now in the British Library. In very good condition: slight discoloration to original blue-purple wrappers; pages are clean and free of markings. Very unique - this copy includes a publisher's error / errata, in which one page has been bound upside down.
