The Heptameron of Peter De Abano is a book written by Sirdar Ikbal Ali Shah. It is a translation of a medieval text called the Heptameron, which was originally written in Latin by Peter De Abano. The Heptameron is a collection of seven magical tales, each one representing a day of the week. The stories are framed by a conversation between seven travelers who are stranded in the Pyrenees Mountains. They decide to pass the time by telling each other stories, and each tale is meant to teach a moral lesson. The stories involve a variety of magical creatures and supernatural events, such as witches, demons, and ghosts. The Heptameron is considered a classic of medieval literature and is still studied today for its insights into the beliefs and values of the time period. Shah's translation is considered one of the most accurate and accessible versions of the text available in English.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Occultism: Its Theory and Practice, by Sirdar Ikbal Ali Shah.
