Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The story of Ahikar has appeared in various forms and numerous
languages over the course of the last two and a half millennia.
Long known to readers of the Arabian Nights, it was not until the
end of the nineteenth century that scholars began to suspect that
the legend had semi-biblical origins. Cambridge University Press
had already published the first edition of The Story of Ahikar in
1898 when an enlarged and corrected second edition was prompted by
the discovery of a series of Aramaic papyrus fragments on the
island of Elephantine, dating from the fifth century before Christ.
It is the second edition of The Story of Ahikar, first published in
1913, which is reproduced here. Meticulously assembled, this
edition contains the Armenian, Old Turkish, Syriac, and Arabic
versions of the story in their original source language with
accompanying English translations. Also included are translations
of the Slavonic, Ethiopic, and Aramaic versions, as well as
fragments of the sayings and parables of Ahikar and the Greek text
of the story.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1896 Edition.

The Grand Grimoire, Kabbalah, Witchcraft, Old Magic - all share a
common inspiration: The Wise King Solomon. Writer of three books in
the Bible; Book of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes & Song of Songs (and
possibly Psalms) - he also possessed a magic ring, with which he
could control and befriend daemons - giving him Ultimate Power.
This is his testament. (Please note: this is not a book of
negativity or the black arts, this is a historical account, an
amendment if you will). Herein is the complete original article
from JQR (1898) Republished with Permission. Forward by performance
artist, Mikhail Tank.
This book is a facsimile reprint and may contain imperfections such
as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.
