About the Publisher
Black Letter Press is a small independent publisher located close to Hannover in Northern Germany, founded by Alice and Claudio Rocchetti in 2018 in Turin, with the publication of Giambattista della Porta's Natural Magick.
BLP specializes in the revival of rare and antique books on a broad range of topics, including the sciences and history of science, poetry, occult philosophy, art, curious and unusual literature, and more.
Our mission is to do these historical texts justice, publishing books that are fine and beautiful, yet remaining affordable and accessible.
Description
Our first volume pulls together a number of versions of the Ars Goetia, with a variety of extracts from source texts that ground the canon in their time and place, and explore the different ways people have interacted with the concepts and symbols, prior to the Occult Revival of the nineteenth century and the text's codification in its first modern published edition.
All the illustrations, seals, and tables of our edition will be restored and carefully reproduced.
Subsequent volumes will explore the Ars Theurgia, Ars Paulina, Ars Almadel and Ars Notoria.
