Ltd. ed. 91/120. Fragment of a Graeco-Egyptian Work upon Magic – A New Look at an Ancient Text. Originally published in 1852, all subsequent reprints have simply reproduced the original text and layout; however, this new edition of Fragment of a Graeco-Egyptian Work upon Magic is not merely a reprint of Goodwin’s manuscript. The original text has been reformatted and reset into a new typeset, and, most importantly, the barbarous words that Goodwin chose to leave out have been inserted into the text, thus allowing the reader to make full use of the rituals contained within without having to refer to other texts in order to use them.​

 

This edition also includes Goodwin’s comprehensive notes as well as his Lecture to the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, originally published in 1851 and reprinted only once before in a now out-of-print edition.​ This new edition also includes the Betz’s translation of the Bornless/Headless ritual for comparison purposes, as well as Crowley's Invocation of the Bornless One. And finally, the original archaic Greek manuscript as presented in The British Museum’s catalogue ‘Greek Papyri in the British Museum: Catalogue With Texts’ from 1893, which is laid out differently from Goodwin’s text and includes the footnotes that contain additional information pertinent to the text.
