A curios Hebrew grimoire, this is a reprint of the original English translation by Rabbi Dr. Gaster. The majority of text contains very long lists of magical Hebrew Names used as the praxis. Although I found "The Sword of Moses" to be not very practical, it was interesting after a fasion.

Informational, could be better explained but ok as an overview

Informational, could be better explained but ok as an overview. The book does state that it is an unedited sample so maybe an updated one will come soo .
