Bought this from an Indian print-on-demand store on ebay, It was the only hardcover edition I could find. Paper is rather pulpy - strictly lower grade paper. the text I'm sure was taken from public domain PDF; I think the original version by Barrett published in 1801. It does not have modern fonts, spelling, vocab, etc. Overall, a rather disappointing edition. I think I paid around $45, so I can't complain too much.
The Magic and Philosophy of Trithemius of Spanheim Containing His Book of Secret Things and Doctrine of Spirits by Francis Barrett
This is an article which is extracted from the Magus. Contains about only 10 pages of text with 30+ blank. If you want the article just buy the Magus by Francis Barrett and forget buying this.
This is one of the rarest and most reputable treatments of ceremonial magic. It discusses topics such as alchemy, astrology, and the Kabbalah.
The Magus, or Celestial Intelligencer; Being a Complete System of Occult Philosophy. Two Books Bound as One by Francis Barrett
Barrett's work made extensive use of Agrippa's _De Occult Philosophia_ (1533), using both text and images, primarily on talismans.
