About the book
In the middle of the XVII century, the so-called “Book of the Nine Gates to the Kingdom of Shadows” (DE UMBRARUM REGNI NOVEM PORTIS) was published in Venice. The author and publisher was a printer named Aristide Torchia (1620—1667), who soon became interested in the Holy Inquisition. He was arrested in Venice, tortured in Rome, where he was burned on the Campo dei Fiori in February 1667. At that time, people were no longer burned at the stake so often, but this one was burned anyway. The composition of the crime: intercourse with the Devil. An aggravating circumstance is the reproduction of nine engravings from the famous "Delomelanicon" - the classics of the black book; according to legend, Lucifer himself was considered the author of the engravings of this book. The name “Delomelanicon" comes from the Greek: delos - clear, revealed. And melas — black, dark. It turns out “ "An appeal to darkness” or "To shed light on it”. According to legend, Lucifer, after his defeat and exile from heaven, compiled for his followers a certain set of magical formulas — a kind of handbook on the world of shadows: “ Delomelanicon”. This terrible book was carefully hidden, burned several times, sold for insane money by those few chosen ones in whose hands it still fell... The illustrations in it were hellish riddles. Those who could unravel their meaning with the help of the text and relevant knowledge, they allowed them to summon the Prince of Darkness..."
"Nine Gates to the Kingdom of Shadows" is one of the most famous and mysterious books in the history of mankind. According to legend, it was compiled by Lucifer himself for his followers after being expelled from heaven.. The engravings of this book are a series of encrypted riddles addressed to the seekers of wisdom.
The book was published for the tenth anniversary of the release of the film "The Ninth Gate", in which it actively appears as the main magical artifact. The book contains not only original engravings of a rare edition, but also all the necessary explanations and comments that allow you to get into the true essence of the book.
The second half of the book consists of several classical texts: " The Chemical wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz", "The Twelve Keys of Basil Valentine", "A Treatise on Microcosm" again by Valentine, the first book of the Occult Philosophy of Agrippa, the fourth pseudo-Agrippa, the first two books of the "Magical Archdox" by Paracelsus and a small article "The Secret Meaning of ancient engravings".
This book will serve as an excellent gift to the lover of occultism and collector of rarities.
