Ancient Texts and Manuscripts

In this section of the site, you will find PDF versions of some of the many ancient manuscipts and chiromancies that I have been fortunate enough to read. These texts are largely inaccessible to the general public as they are kept in university libraries and museums - but they are presented here in order to make them more freely available. For those of an academic inclination, I have included their source, location and reference numbers (where available) so that should you have the opportunity to visit these libraries, you will be saved many hours of searching.

I have also included here my book Codices Chiromantii Bodleiani, which is a catalogue of all the manuscripts and incunabula from the C12th to the C17th held in the Bodleian Library of Oxford University. This includes a short description of the manuscript or text together with a brief outline of its contents.
