Record summary
The Book of Abramelin presents itself as an account by Abraham of Worms describing a prolonged regimen intended to attain knowledge and conversation with one’s Holy Guardian Angel, followed by magical operations. It is important for comparing autobiographical authority, Jewish and Christian textual elements, ritual purification, and later ceremonial reinterpretation. The work survives in differing versions, especially a shorter French-derived form and longer German-associated materials. Questions of translation, manuscript relationship, and the historical identity of Abraham remain central uncertainties.
