This is a very exciting work; it combines segments and content from a half dozen sources, and was allegedly crafted by none other than Rosicrucian heavyweight Swineburne Clymer at the dawn of the 20th century. Despite the "grand grimoire" label most of the interior material comes from the Clavicle of Solomon and a variant of the Black Pullet and deals with magical talismans and rings- it also contains a section on mediumship via planchette. It was presumably used as a companion to lectures or lessons as every other page was initially blank, probably for note taking.
It represents a fairly modern "true" grimoire since the compiled material here is fundamentally similar in style and structure to works such as the Petit Albert and Egyptian Secrets of Albertus Magnus.
89 pages.
