The Book of Secrets of Albertus Magnus
Anonymous
Weiser
In order to attract readers, it was not uncommon for magical texts of the 16th century to take on the name of a notable figure. Such is the case with The Book of Secrets of Albertus Magnus, whose secrets are, in fact, a compilation from a number of different sources by an anonymous author who was, according to editors Best and Brightman, probably one of Albertus Magnus' followers.
Combining elements of grimoires, bestiaries, herbals and geographies, The Book of Secrets provides a vivid window into a realm of bygone knowledge.
