NONUS PORTA - THE NINTH GATE

The text is printed in a 17th century type face and the first mystery is the "Clavicle" or The Greater Key of Solomon in Two Books. Each book is an important occult or alchemy work that is preceded by a title page, a numbered "gate" with the Latin empowerment and the tarot style illustration signed either AT or LCF

The endpapers are hand marbled in the black antique spot design.
