Reputedly written by King Solomon himself, this is a major text of Western ritual magic containing chants, prayers, and instructions, both general and specific, on trafficking with the spirit world. The translation of this work was gathered from seven manuscripts from the British Museum's collection. Its formulas for conjuring spirits and performing rituals offer a rich source of study for students of comparative religion, psychology, and the history of ideas. For working occultists, this is a valuable and important guide to the execution of magical ceremonies.
