The Gnome Manuscript ~ Origins, Habit & Culture

Description

The Gnome Manuscripts ~ Origins, Habit & Culture is a mixture of myth, magick and folklore. All captured in the wonderful drawings and handwriting by J.H.W. Eldermans. In 2000, the mysterious Dutch ‘Richel-Eldermans collection’ was donated to The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in Boscastle. In 2003, a Dutch speaking student assisted in deciphering some of the written materials in the collection.

The staff of the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic were most interested in the contents of this manuscript. So a decision was made to publish a series of books that present translations of the intriguing handwritten content. The information was categorized and Origins, Habit and Culture focuses on where the gnomes came from, what they were doing and what they expressed.

Wilmar Taal is a Dutch cultural historian and author of ‘The Silent Listener – The Life and Works of J.H.W. Eldermans’ (Troy Books, 2018). He specializes in sagas, myths and the occult sciences. He lives in Koog aan de Zaan, The Netherlands, together with his wife, son and daughter and a spoilt rotten cat.
