Inhaltsangabe

On 1 December 1911, the members of the Lancaster County Historical Society gathered to examine not only their past, but the making of history itself. The past lives on here. Issued as Volume XV, No. 10 of the Society's ongoing series, "History Herself, As Seen In Her Own Workshop" offers a rare glimpse into how early twentieth century local historians understood their craft, their sources, and the story of Lancaster County Pennsylvania. Combining reflective writing on the nature of history with grounded local observation, this historical society papers anthology situates Lancaster County history within broader currents of Pennsylvania local history and early American historiography, while remaining rooted in the textures of place, memory, and archive. As a contemporaneous record of what was read, discussed, and preserved in 1911, the volume functions as a primary source collection and a valuable resource for historians, genealogists, and all readers curious about how communities curated their own past. It stands alongside other Pennsylvania historical society publications as a compact reference collection for researchers interested in early 20th century history, civic identity, and the evolution of local scholarship. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it invites both casual readers of Lancaster County history and serious collectors of classic local studies to encounter history where it was first shaped: in the Society's own workshop.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The author of "Picatrix" was likely a highly educated and intellectually versatile scholar, deeply rooted in the Arabic-speaking world of the 11th century. He was well-versed in a variety of disciplines, including astrology, alchemy, and philosophy, drawing on Greek, Persian, and Indian sources. As a participant in the Islamic Golden Age's rich scholarly tradition, he likely had access to extensive libraries and intellectual circles. His work suggests a blend of academic knowledge and practical application, indicating both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience in astrological and magical practices.
