The Government Manual for New Wizards Through History

Written in 1547 by Sangor the Sanguine, and published in 1502 by Alchor the Anachronistic, A True & Faythfulle Guyde For The Sorcerorietous, By One Of Theyre Numberre, With Many Moste Excellente Illustrations contained everything the sixteenth-century spellcaster needed to know. With advice on everything from "avoyding ye Blacke Playgue withoutte trafficking in ye blacke arts" to "enchanting yourre daughterre so that she shalle notte bear her elbowes in public lyke she wyre a strumpette," the Guyde was an instant best-seller, going through several dozen printings in as many years.

In an effort to keep the Guyde at the forfront of magical thinking, Sangor continued to revise the work up through his death in 1794 (and, indeed, for several years after that.) Although initially addressing wizards of all levels of experience, Sangor steadily became aware of the particular utitility of his advice for the youngest practioners of the art, which, in Sangor's view, included anybody under the age of 347. By 1742, the Guyde was being published as The Manual of His Royal Majestie's Government for New Wizards, and with minor variations, it has been known by that name ever since.
