A Treatise on Magical Incantations

"A Treatise on Magical Incantations" is a quasi-historical and christianized work from the 1880s. Supposedly based on the (possibly mythical) Christianus Pazig's work in Latin from over a century prior, it speaks of Homeric mythology, antiquity, the middle ages, and the use of voice and incantation in various serpent cults. It is a dense, if biased work, which generally rebuffs the concept of incantation as relevant, and relegates what is claimed to be relevant generally to the demonic, setting aside only biblical accounts of the use of incantation and praising them as the work of the christian deity.
