Ltd. ed. 59/880. Signed bookplate by Alan Thorogood laid in front endpaper. The first ever facsimile publication of this manuscript version of Dr. Rudd's Nine Hierarchies of Angels which was compiled by Frederick Hockley during the 1830s. The manuscript comprises three distinct but connected texts; Dr Rudd’s Nine Hierarchies of Angels (a work in part at least derived from a seventeenth century manuscript Janua Magica Reserata), the English translations of John Dee’s angelic keys, and the invocations of the angels relating to the 'table of the earth.' The book includes a comprehensive Introduction by Alan Thorogood, followed by a typeset transcription of the text of the manuscript, with explanatory footnotes, etc., and a facsimile of the original Hockley manuscript with colour preliminary pages.
