First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently by Marcus Buckingham
14 . Le Petit Albert . The ‘little brother’ of Le Grand Albert . this popular grimoire seems to have first appeared in France around 1668, with numerous reprintings over the next century. ‘Albert’ in this case apparently refers not to Albertus Magnus, but to a certain Albertus Parvus Lucius. Le Petit Albert was, as with Barrett’s The Magus (see below), a composite of numerous previous writings, including possibly those of Paracelsus. This book was condemned and censored by the Catholic Church, which allegedly made its value on the 18th–19th century French ‘black market’ skyrocket. The book achieved a remarkable popularity in rural France, was at times compared to a type of ‘farmer’s almanac’, was devoid of demonic conjurations, and was more concerned with the practical element of ‘low magic’ so as to cause desired changes in one’s life. Perhaps its more infamous recipe concerned that of the so-called ‘Hand of Glory’, based on a type of necromancy that involved procuring the left hand of an executed man. This object could then allegedly confer certain powers of protection, as well as the ability to become invisible.
