The magick of Kirani King of Persia, and of Harpocration; containing the magical and medicinal virtues of stones, herbs, fishes, beasts and birds. A work much sought for by the learned, but seen by few; said to have been in the Vatican-Library in Rome; but not to be found there. Nor in all the famous libraries of the empire. Now published and translated into English from a copy found in a private hand.
