Eines der ältesten Zauberbücher auf Französisch
26. Juni 2026
Wir schreiben das Jahr 1584. In diesem Jahr erscheint in Lyon ein Buch mit einem überraschenden Namen: La première partie des subtiles et plaisantes inventions .
Man weiß so gut wie nichts über den geheimnisvollen Autor namens I. Prevost, der jedoch erstmals die zahlreichen magischen Effekte, die damals praktiziert wurden, in einem einzigen Buch zusammengetragen hat. Obwohl das Becherspiel darin nicht erwähnt wird (was überraschend ist), kann man vermuten, dass es in einer „zweiten Teil“ einen wichtigen Platz hätte einnehmen sollen, der jedoch anscheinend nie erschienen ist, da bis heute kein Exemplar bekannt ist.
Dieses Buch beschreibt zahlreiche Experimente, die man einige Jahrhunderte später „amüsante Physik“ nennen sollte, wie etwa das Balancieren mehrerer Messer zugleich.
Erwähnen wir auch den Vorläufer des Coloring Books , ein Trick, bei dem ein Buch, das zunächst als völlig weiß präsentiert wird, auf seinen Seiten wie von Zauberhand Figuren erscheinen lässt. Das Prinzip der leicht abgeschrägten Seiten existierte also bereits im 16. Jahrhundert – man erfindet eben nie wirklich etwas Neues!

Dieses Buch ist extrem selten, und derzeit sind weltweit nicht mehr als ein Dutzend Exemplare bekannt, was dieses Werk absolut legendär macht.
Einige kleine Kolportagehefte wurden zweifellos fast gleichzeitig oder etwas früher veröffentlicht, aber kein Buch übertraf damals die Vollständigkeit des von I. Prevost verfassten Werks.
Kleine Anekdote: Ein ähnliches Buch mit dem Titel The Discoverie of Witchcraft erschien im selben Jahr, 1584, auf Englisch. Es wurde von Reginald Scot geschrieben, kam jedoch erst einige Monate nach dem Werk von I. Prevost heraus, was das französische Buch zum ersten seiner Art über Magie macht! Ein kleiner Erfolg für die Franzosen!
