A ROSICRUCIAN GRIMOIRE
Folio (351x215 mm). [8], 1-48, 49-52, 49-192 pp. with 18 full-page drawings and 29 smaller drawings in the text in pencil and brown ink. Written in a single German hand. Some spaces left blank for illustrations. Early 19th-century marbled boards (very worn and rubbed, large part of the spine missing). One leaf detached, ink stain on two leaves (pp. 100-101), all in all well preserved. Provenance: purchasing note dated 1803 on the front pastedown; Alexander von Bernus (1880-1965), German writer, spagyric alchemist, and a friend of Stefan Zweig, who has left some annotations on the front pastedown and first leaf recto, stating the author of this manuscript also used Thomas Vaughan's Aula lucis for the alchemical sections.
This illustrated manuscript, dated 1768 (ll. [2]r, 2v and 5v) and also entitled Die Göttl. Cabala, id. Magia divina des Jethroe Moyses (l. [1r]), contains several Kabbalistic, magical and alchemical texts allegedly gathered by Eleazar or Elizier Hacklier and translated into German by the Benedictine monk Johannes Macarius. We were able to trace two other manuscript copies of Hacklier's work, one dated 1767-1768 with the same provenance (Hs. Bernus 98, Badische Landesbibliothek) and one dated 1752 (Ms. 197, Leopold-Sophien-Bibiliothek Uberlingen). The drawings show pyramids, a crucified snake, pentacles or talismans, statues of planetary gods, a temple, a dragon eating the sun, etc. On the main title page it is claimed that Eleazar Hacklier was a great Cabbalist in the year of the world 1080, while Macarius's translation is variably dated 1495 in one place and 1595 in another. These manuscripts, considered magical, had a secret circulation limited to initiates (cf. pansophers.com/the-rosicrucian-grimoire).
