The Book of Tobit

The book of Tobit is said to have been written around 225 BC, and the story set around 700 BC.

It tells the tale of Tobit, an Israelite who had suffered blindness.

His son, Tobias, wished to marry Sarah, the daughter of Raguel, but 7 of her previous suitors had been slain by the demon Asmodeus.

Through the intercession of the angel Raphael, the demon is driven away, and Tobit is healed.

This edition also contains additional information on Raphael and Asmodeus, art and illustrations of the story over the centuries, and the editors own experience with these spirits.
