Tomes on the Hermetic Arts
Due to our house rules for books, all the tomes in the library of Stranggore are tractatus.
The highlight of Stranggore's Hermetic collection is a complete fifteen-volume set of the treatises of Eudoxus of Bonisagus, a third-generation descendant of the Founder who undertook the ambitious task of writing an authoritative book on every Art. These works are still available and widely copied from the Great Library of Durenmar. Although later authors have written better texts on the individual Arts, Eudoxis's treatises are still considered important and useful works, albeit somewhat dated. Stranggore spared no expense in acquiring beautiful copies, each masterfully scribed, illuminated, and bound. Unfortunately these fine books were neglected in the early twelfth century and suffered some damage from worms and mildew.
