<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Translation of: Noli me tangere: Compendium rarissimum totius Artis Magicae sistematisatae per celeberrimos Artis hujus Magistros, 1057.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A full-color facsimile of an 18th-century black-magic compendium</strong></p><p><i>Touch Me Not</i> is an Austrian manuscript compendium of the black magical arts, completed c. 1795. Unique and otherworldly, it evokes a realm of visceral dark magic. As the co-editor of this volume Hereward Tilton notes, the manuscript "appears at first sight to be a 'grimoire' or magician's manual intended for noviciates of black magic. Psychedelic drug use, animal sacrifice, sigillary body art, masturbation fantasy and the necromantic manipulation of gallows-corpses count among the transgressive procedures it depicts. With their aid hidden treasures are wrested from guardian spirits, and the black magician's highest ambition--an infernal transfiguration and union with the Devil--can be fulfilled." <p/>Hidden for decades within the Wellcome Library collection, <i>Touch Me Not</i> is published here as a full-color facsimile. The German and Latin texts have been translated by Hereward Tilton and Merlin Cox, scholars who have explored the sources for the various elements and provided copious references. Tilton provides an introduction that lays out the context for the survival of this extraordinary manuscript.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A highly entertaining conveyor--and unique reinterpretation--of Germanic magical tradition...--Hereward Tilton "LitHub"<br><br>Coming to you from c.1795, this astonishing and unusual book is the full colour facsimile reproduction of an Austrian manuscript compendium of the black magical arts made available for the first time.
