[Leica] RETROSPECT 51

[Douglas Barry]

Mmm, enigmatic, Bill, but not exactly a relic as I'd understand it.

The book seems to be a 1970s reprint of Émile-Jules Grillot de Givry's 
book Witchcraft Magic and Alchemy, and the piece shown is the charred 
remnant of page 116. Probably from the parson/priest's library, as they 
tend to watch out for occult tendencies amongst their flocks.
I remember winding up one of the priests who taught us and who also 
acted as our class councilor at one of his one to one sessions in my 
Leaving Cert year. I asked him about the Black Mass, and he decided he 
was dealing with a potential satanist....
