An edition of Bodleian MS Douce 116, a manuscript whose magical material passed through the hands of four owners across the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, including the astrologer Robert Cross Smith ('Raphael') and Olivia Serres. Its charms, seals, talismans, spirit conjurations and fairy lore appear in English, Latin and Welsh, with translations and notes by Harms and illustrations by Aldarnay. A late window on the English grimoire tradition.
