Near fine second edition with gilt titling to front board, limited to 200 copies. Binding square and tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Some very light bumping to spine ends and corners. A Facsimile edition of a Rosicrucian Alchemical Manuscript attributed to Edward Kelley, the notorious seer attached to John Dee. The text, apparently in the hand of 19th century Anglican clergyman and Golden Dawn member William Alexander Ayton, describes alchemical wisdom associated with both the Golden Dawn and Rosicrucian traditions. The facsimile seems to reproduce passages from Ayton's previous unpublished notebooks from around 1860.
