[edit] Propose merge with The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage

Much of this article is simply repeating information relating to the book; there is (as the article says) very little that can be said specifically about the man, and that could just as well be covered in the article about the book. I don't think Abramelin is historically of interest in any other respect than that he is the reputed origin of the rituals in the book.

That seems like a better way to resolve the disambiguation issue: merge Abramelin the Mage into The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage and make the former a redirect to the latter. Fuzzypeg 12:34, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

That seems to me to be the most sensible approach. Bucketsofg 12:35, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Wow, you got here quick! I was just going to move this discussion to Talk:The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, having seen that that's where the merge tags seem to be directing everyone. I hope you won't find it terribly remiss if I copy your comment there as well? Fuzzypeg 12:41, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm doing some really fast backpedalling right now. I'm removing the merge tags for the moment, since I see that User:catherineyronwode has already raised strong objections to a merge and given some reasoning. You can find her comments at Talk:The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage. Sorry. Fuzzypeg 12:48, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
