Looking for older grimoires / occult texts (pre-1900 or early 20th century recommendations)

Hello all! What I’m specifically interested in is older occult material—grimoires, manuscripts, or early witchcraft/ceremonial magic texts, especially anything pre-1900 or early 20th century. I feel like writers from that era (and earlier) were much closer to older traditions, folk practices, and the original esoteric systems that later got filtered down or modernized. I’m not necessarily looking for “modern interpretations of old magic,” but anything that feels closer to source material rather than modern spiritual reworkings If anyone has suggestions for where to start building a reading list of older works—or even archives, publishers, or collections that specialize in this kind of material or places I should contact ro find them like should I be going to antique book sellers? I’d really appreciate it. Thanks so much!
