Description
Household magic fills Le veritable petit Albert, in this 1881 printing of the great French folk grimoire. Secrets promise help with health, love, luck, and protection for ordinary folk. For three centuries the Petit Albert ranked among France's best-selling books of hidden knowledge, thumbed in farms and villages across the land.
Recipes, charms, and wonders pass from hand to hand in its pages. Joseph-Norbert Duquet's printing carried the old lore to new buyers here. Scholars trace its roots to the secrets ascribed to Albert the Great. The people's magic, plain and practical, survives in this little book, endlessly reprinted because readers kept finding their needs in it.
