The Book of Abramelin: A New Translation
Being a Complete and Modern Translation from Various Extant Manuscripts, Including a Previously Unpublished Fourth Part.
by Abraham von Worms. Compiled & Edited by Georg Dehn, translated by Steven Guth, Foreword by Lon Milo DuQuette.

The Book of Abramelin is the first modern translation of this magical work since Mathers' original translation over 100 years ago. Not only is the language updated, but Georg Dehn, the compiler and editor, has sourced his work from all extant manuscripts, whereas Mathers used just one. The result is a stunning new translation which has already set the occult world abuzz. It includes voluminus important material left out of Mathers' work, including an entire Part Two filled with magical recipes, important distinctions in the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel ritual, and complete word squares that had been left half-completed by Mathers. In light of this, it is an essential work for any serious practicing magician or student of occult history. In essence, the book presents two quests and two different conclusions. The first is Abraham's tale of finding the mage, Abramelin, and learning from him the secrets of Magick. The second is Dehn's quest, both mundane and spiritual: how he was drawn to the work and to follow in Abraham's footsteps, both exoteric, in traveling to the Middle East in search of the original hermitage, and esoteric, as his studies bring about personal transformation and incredibly synchronistic events.
