Collection: Witchcraft and Magic in England, c. 1400–1920 Volumes University College London Special Collections
Content sourced from this institution includes a number of manuscript sources, such as rare religious texts and tracts on alchemy, astrology, astronomy, mathematics, and natural philosophy. For example, there is a copy of De Sphaera Mundi and other tracts (MS LAT/15), dating from the fourteenth century, that were written by the British monk (he may have been from Halifax), astronomer, and mathematician, Johannes de Sacrobosco. You will also find a manuscript entitled Chyromantia et Natura Planetarum. Most likely dating from the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries, it contains a treatise on palmistry (chiromancy), that includes 21 colour diagrams of hands and symbols.
Later printed material includes relevant literature generated during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (e.g. OGDEN CAR ESS), as well as anthropological studies of witchcraft and magic (e.g. STORE 15-1005/9), alongside texts authored by members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (e.g. HEBREW RARE).
