The Black Pullet, "La Poule Noire", is a French grimoire of magic and talisman construction attributed to an anonymous French officer in Napoleon's army. His adventures during an Egyptian expedition resulted in being wounded in an attack by Arab soldiers (Bedouins), from which he was rescued by a Turkish man who nursed him to health while training him in the esoteric spiritual sciences he claimed to be remnant from the burned libraries of Ptolemy. This beautiful and ornate grimoire features unique talisman sigils which are faithfully forged in thick and durable pewter. The grimoire explains that this talisman design "will assist you to know all the minerals and vegetables, their virtues and properties, and you will possess the universal medicine. There is no illness that you will not be able to cure and no cure that you will undertake without success. Aesculapius and Hippocrates will only be novices compared to you."
