The first in a series here at Esoterica exploring books of magic or grimoires. This episode takes a look at the Munich Necromancer’s Manual: the spells inside (summoning a castle, a ‘love’ spell and a spell to find buried treasure), the author and their historical context, and more books are medieval magic.
