INTRODUCTION: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Liber Juratus is one of the oldest and most influential texts of Medieval magic. The prologue says the text was compiled to help preserve the core teachings of the sacred magic, in the face of intense persecution by church officials. This may be a reference to the actions of pope John XXII (1316-34). |

English The only attempt at publishing any significant portion of the English translation was Daniel Driscoll's The Sworn Book of Honourius (sic) the Magician, Heptangle Books, 1977. Unfortunately, Driscoll did not make use of the best manuscripts, omitted large portions, misread and misplaced angelic names and words from the prayers, and otherwise took serious liberties with the text. It is however a fine example of the book publisher's craft, and has become a valuable collectable. ManuscriptsThe Sworne Book is represented in several manuscripts including the following found in the British Museum:
Of these, Sloane 3854 is the most reliable, complete, and readable. All of the manuscripts seem to be missing some text, as shown by internal references to material not actually to be found. One example is the reference to the seals of angels. To make up for these evident deficiencies, the Royal manuscript seems to have inserted some additional text not found in the other manuscripts, namely the information on angels and incenses, most of which is taken from Agrippa and De Abano. It is also missing some text found in the other manuscripts. Variants are of some interest. Note the recurring sound changes: "i" (R manuscript) becomes "g" (S manuscript), e.g. "ienomos" [R] = "genomos" [S], ..iel [r] = ..ihel [S], e.g. "kariel" [r] = "karihel" [S]; also frequent interchange of y to i and i to y; ..am [r] = ..um [S], e.g. "lemeliham" [r] = "lemelihum" [S]. possible evidence of mss tradition in some other script [Hebrew or Greek?] or oral tradition. John Dee, in his Mystical Experiments, was originally told to use a version found in one of his books. Dee consulted several sources, and consulted the angels to resolve the discrepancies. This prompted them to detail an almost totally new version of the Sigil. One of Dee's sources was apparently Sl.313. Roberts and Watson, in their 1990 John Dee's Library Catalogue, pg. 168, identify Sloane 313 as being one of Dee's manuscripts. They give it catalog number DM70, and note, "On fol.9 (originally the first leaf, fol.1-8 having been misbound) is [Dee's ladder symbol] and, very faint, 'Fragmentum Magicum', which may be in Dee's hand. At the foot is 'Sum Ben: Jonsonij liber'." Note also that the section 'On the composition of the Divine Seal' also occurs in the Hebrew version of the Key of Solomon (fol. 3b-5b). Note too that the Orations found in Liber Juratus parallel (and are probably derived from) those found in the Ars Notoria, for example:
This edition.This edition is based on the English translation of the Royal manuscript, but with some variant readings from Sl.3885 (abbreviated S), Sl.3854 (designated S2), and Sl.3853 (designated S3) are also noted. Translation of some of the Latin text by JHP.The diagram of the Sigillum Dei Aemeth is based on that in Sloane 313, but with a few corrections based on the description in the text. It has been reconstructed using the excellent Schreibweise font from Andrew Leman at E-phemera. It was developed from a sample of a German manuscript dating from 1492. This is fairly close to the (although considerably corrupted) version shown in Athanasius Kircher in his monumental work Oedipus Aegyptiacus (1562). The drawing of the sigil does not occur in Royal, Sloane 3854, or Sl.3885. The version in Sloane 3853 (reproduced in C.J.S. Thompson, The Mysteries and Secrets of Magic, New York, 1973, pg. 186, but without identifying the source) is somewhat different. The drawing, with interesting differences, also appears in an Italian manuscript of the Key of Solomon in the Bodleian Library, MS. Mich. 276.

Liber Iuratus Honorii
or
The Sworne Booke of Honorius
[1r] when wycked sprites ware gathered to get-| her Intending to sende devills In to the hartts off men| to the entente thay wolde dystroy all thinges profyta-| ble ffor mankynde and to corrvpte all the whole wor-| lde even to the vttermost off there powr sowing Ipo-| crysye and envy and rooting bysshops and prelates| In pryde even the pope him selfe and his cardenall-| es which gathering them selves to gether sayde| won to a nother as here folowethe */*/*/*/*/*/* |
[I. Prologue]
When wicked spirits were gathered together, intending to send
devils into the hearts of men, to the intent they would destroy
all things profitable for mankind, and to corrupt all the whole
world, even to the uttermost of their power, sowing hypocrise and
envy, and rooting bishops and prelates in pride, even the pope
himself and his cardinals, which gathering themselves together
said one to another as here follows: |
Notes: |
the helth which the lorde hathe| gevin his people Is now through magecke and| negromansy turned Into the damnacyon of all pe-| ople, for even the magyans them selves being in-| toxycated and blynded by the devill, and contrary| to the order of christes chvrche and transgressing| the commavdement of god, which dothe saye tho-| w shalte not tempe the lorde thy god, but him on-| ly shalte þu serve, but these negromansers or ma-| gyans denying the sacryfyce dew vnto god and in| tempting him hathe donne sacryfyce vnto devi-| lls and abvsed his name In calling of them co-| ntrary to the profession made at there baptin, |
The health which the Lord has given his people is now through magic and negromancy turned into the damnation of all people. For even the magians themselves, being intoxicated and blinded by the devil, and contrary to the order of Christ's Church, and transgressing the commandment of God, which says, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, but him only shalt thou serve." But these negromancers or magians, denying the sacrifice due to God, and in tempting him have done sacrifice to devils, and abused His Name in calling of them, contrary to the profession made at there baptism, |
“You shall not test the Lord your God”: (Deut.6:16); "but you shall serve him alone”: (Deut. 6:13) |
[1v] for there it is sayd: for sake the devill and all his| pompes, but thes magyans and negromansers| dothe nott follow only the pompes and workes| of sathan but hathe also brought all people th-| rough there meruelus ellusyons In to þe err-| ors drawing the ignorant and suche lyke In| to the damnasyon bothe of sowle and body, and| they thinkinge this for no other purpose. but| that by this they shulde destroye all other scye-| nces, it is thought mite therfore to plucke vp| and vtterly to dystroy this dedly roote and all the| followers of this arte, but they throvghe the I-| nstygasyon off the deuill and being moued wt| envy and couetusnes vnder the simylytude of| truthe they did publyshe and spred abrode þe f-| alshed speking falce and vnlykely thinges, for| It is nott possible þt a wicked and vnclen man| shulde worke trwly In this arte, for men are n-| ott bownde vnto sprites, but the sprites are co-| nstrayned agaynst þr wills to answere men þt| be clensed or clene, and to fulfill there requeste-| s, yet agaynst all yos willes we haue gone abo-| wt to set forthe the princyples of this arte |
for there it is said, "Forsake the devil and all his pomps." But these magians and negromancers do not follow only the pomps and works of Satan, but have also brought all people through their marvellous illusions into the errors, drawing the ignorant and such like into the damnation both of soul and body, and they thinking this for no other purpose but that by this they should destroy all other sciences. It is thought meet [=proper] therefore to pluck up and utterly to destroy this deadly root, and all the followers of this art, but they through the instigation of the devil, and being moved with envy and covetousnes under the similitude of truth, they did publish and spread abroad the falsehood, speaking false and unlikely things. For it is not possible that a wicked and unclean man should work truely in this art, for men are not bound to spirits, but the spirits are constrained against their wills to answer men that are cleansed or clean, and to fulfill their requests. Yet against all those wills we have gone about to set forth the principles of this art, |
|
[2r] and þe cause of truthe, and for that cause thay h-| ad condemned this arte and Iudged hus to dethe. |
and the cause of truth, and for that cause thay had condemned this art and judged us to death. |
|
we therfore throughe godes sufferance haui-| ng a fore knoledge of that Iudgement knowing a-| lso þt by it shulde folow miche mischefe and þt It| was impossible to vs to scape the handes of the| people by owre owne strengthe wt owt the helpe| of sprites dowting þt a greter danger wolde folo-| w upon it, for the wicked power of the sprites a-| tt owre commaundement wolde haue destroyed| them all vtterly In on, wherfore we called on ge-| nerall counsell off all the masters In the which| counsell of *811* masters which camme owte of| naples athence and tholetus we dyd chuse on| whose name was honorius the sonne of euclud-| vs master of the thebanes, In the which cytye th-| is art was redd þt he shulde worke for us in| this sayde arte, and he throughe the counsell| of a sertayne angell whose name was hocroell| dyd wryte *7* volumes of arte magicke, geuy-| ng vnto hus the kernel and vnto other the sh-| alles owt of the which bookes he drw owt *93*| chapiters in the which Is bryffely contayned |
We therefore, through God's sufferance, having a foreknowledge of that judgement, knowing also that by it should follow much mischief, and that it was impossible to us to escape the hands of the people by our own strength without the help of spirits, doubting [i.e. fearing] that a greater danger would follow upon it, for the wicked power of the spirits at our command could have destroyed them [i.e. those who condemned us] all utterly in an hour. Wherefore, we called a general council of all the masters. And out of the which council of 811 masters which came out of Naples, Athens, and Toledo, we did choose one whose name was Honorius, the son of Euclid, master of the Thebians, in the which city this art was read, that he should work for us in this said art. And he through the council of a certain angel whose name was Hocroel, did write seven volumes of art magic, giving to us the kernel, and to others the shells. Out of the which books he drew out 93 chapters, in the which is briefly contained |
|
[2v] the effecte off this arte, off the which, chapters he| made a booke which we doo call the sacred or sworne| booke for this cause, for in it is contayned a *100*| sacred names of god and therfor it is callyd sac-| red as ye wolde saye made of holy thinges, or ell-| es be cause by this booke he came to the knowled-| ge of sacred or holy thinges, or elles be cause It| was cosecrated of angells, or elles be cause the a-| ngell hocroell did declare and show vnto him þt | it was consecrated of god, then they prynces &| prelates being pacefyed wt burning of serten f-| ables or tryffles, thought verely this arte had| bin vtterly destroyed, and therfore we being som-| whate moued made this othe amounge oure se-| lues, first þt this book shulde be delyueryd to no| man vntyll suche tyme as the master of the ar-| te were in Ieoberdye of dethe and þt it shulde| be copyed but vnto *3* att the most, and þt it sh-| ulde be delyueryd to no woman nor to any ma-| n excepte he were off lawfull aghe which shulde| also be bothe godely and faythfull whose gode-| ly behauer had bin tryed by the space of a whole| yere, and þt this booke shulde no more here after |
the effect of this art, of the which chapters he made a book which we do call The Sacred or Sworn Book for this cause, for in it is contained the 100 sacred names of God, and therefor it is called sacred, as you would say "made of holy things," or else because by this book he came to the knowledge of sacred or holy things, or else because it was consecrated by angels, or else because the angel Hocroel did declare and show him that it was consecrated of God. [The oath]Then the princes and prelates being pacified with burning of certain fables or trifles, thought verily that this art had been utterly destroyed, and therefore we being somewhat moved, made this oath among ourselves:

we therfore thorow godes helpe Intendinge to |

and chiffe princyple or begininge is the de-|
vyne maiestye, and the trew Inuocatyon m-|
ust cume frome the very faythe of the harte, |
the which faythe the workes shall declare,

We therefore, through God's help, intending to follow the steps and precepts of Solomon, therefore to your receiving of such a high mystery, we profess to be one chief principal or beginning. Note therefore that the first and chief principal or beginning is the Divine Majesty, and the true invocation must come from the very faith of the heart, the which faith the works shall declare. For Solomon said there is one only God, one might or power, one faith, of whom one work, one principal or beginning, and of whom the perfection and effect of every work comes, although this be divided into many parts. For like as all the whole parts do savour and smell of the body, even so likewise of these things come all perfection and effect. |

In the name therfore of the true And ly-| uing gode which Is alpha et omega þe | beginninge and the endinge which is the fat-| her the sonne, and the holy gost *3* persones | and on god the gyuer off lyffe and the dest-| royer off dethe for he destroyed oure dethe | and thrughe his resurrectyon restored vs | agayne to lyffe. */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* |
In the name therefore of the true and living
God, who is Alpha and Omega the beginning and
the ending, which is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost,
three persons and one God, the giver of life, and the destroyer
of death. For he destroyed our death and through his resurrection
restored us again to life. |

Of the making of the Seal of God, for the knowledge of the first part, of the knowledge of the diety, for the knowledge of the second part, in the third part of the vision of angels, the fourth of the constrinkesyon, the fifth part of the bonds of dead men. |
|
off angels there are *3* kyndes */*/*/*/*/* | some be selestyall, and some of the ayre and some | be of the earthe. off the celestyall there are also *2* | kyndes somme of them doo serue god only and | those be the *9* orders of angells that is to saye | cherubin, and seraphin, trones, domynatyons, | vertuse, princypates, and potestates, arkangells | and angells off whome it is to be spoken amo-| unge mortall men, for they will nott be constray-| ned by any artyfysyall powr, and therfore | they oughte nott to be Inuocated for they a-| lwayes stande before the deuyne maiestye an| d are neuer seperated from his presens, yet be | cause the sowle of man was creatyd with | theme and to there lykenes, lookinge to be re-| wardyd with them maye through the gyfte | and grace of god his bodye yet lyuing beh-| olde the deuyne maiestye, and with them to | prayse and know god þe creator, and this kn-| owledge is nott to know god in his magestye [7v] and power but euer as adame and the | prophettes dyd know him, |
Of angels there are three kinds. Some are celestial, some are of the air, and some are of the earth. Of the celestial, there are also two kinds. Some of them serve God only, and those are the nine orders of angels, that is to say, cherubin, seraphin, thrones, dominations, virtues, principates, potestates, archangels, and angels. Of whom it is to be spoken among mortal men, for they will not be constrained by any artificial power. And therefore they ought not be invocated, for they always stand before the Divine Majesty, and are never separated from His presence. Yet because the soul of man was created with them, and to there likeness, looking to be rewarded with them may through the gift and grace of God, his body yet living behold the Divine Majesty, and with them to praise and to know God the creator, and this knowledge is not to know God in his majesty and power, but ever as Adam and the prophets did know him. |

[8v]
It is nott to be thoughte þt there is any eu-|
ill in this name magyan, for this same na-|
me magyan dothe signefy in the grike twunge |
a philosopher, and in the hebru twunge a sc-|
rybe, and in the latten twunge it signefyeth |
wyse and so this name of arte magyke is co-|
mpownded of this worde magos wiche Is |
as muche to saye as wyse and of ycos wiche |
by interpretasyon is knowledge for by it a |
man is made wyse, for by this arte a man |
maye know thinges present past and to |
come */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
|
But this is principally to be noted, that there are three kinds of men that work in this art: Jews, Christians, and pagans. The pagans do sacrifice to the spirits of the air and of the earth, but they do not constrain or bind them, but the spirits do fain themselves to be bound by the words of their law, to the intent they may make them commit idolatry, and never turn to the true faith. And because their faith is nought, therefore their works are nought. He that will work after that man must forsake the living God, and must do sacrifice to spirits and idols. For it is faith that works in a man good or evil. Wherefore it is said in the Gospel, "your faith has made you safe." The Jews do in no wise work to obtain the vision of the Deity, for by the coming of Christ they lost their preeminence, nor can they come to heaven, for the Lord says, he that is not baptized shall be damned. And so in all angels they work imperfectly. Nor can they through their invocations bring any work to effect, except they believe in Christ. For it is said by the prophet, "when the king of kings and the Lord of Lords is come, then shall your annointing cease," which should never have ceased if they could have wrought effectually by this art. And so theire works are nought. And although the Jews in that they are Jews are condemned, of yet they do worship the High Creator, but not after a due sort. Yet through the power of the holy names of God, spirits are constrained to come. But Jews because they are not signed with the sign of God, that is to say with the sign of the cross, therefore those spirits will not answer them truely.
Therefore, the Christian man only works truely to come to the
vision of the Deity, and in all other works. And although three
sorts of men do work by this art magic, yet it is not to be
thought that there is any evil in this name Magian, for
this same name Magian signifies in the Greek tongue
a philosopher, and in the Hebrew tongue a
scribe, and in the Latin tongue it signifies wise.
And so this name of art magic is compounded of this word
magos which is as much to say as 'wise,' and of
ycos which by interpretation is 'knowledge.' For
by it a man is made wise. For by this art a man may know things
present, past, and to come. | |

First, make a circle with a diameter of three fingers, on account of the Lord's three nails, or five on account of the five wounds, or seven on account of the seven sacraments, or nine on account of the nine orders of angels, but generally five fingers are customary. Then, below that circle make another circle, distant from the first by two barley grains (on account of the two Tablets of Moses), else the distance from the first can be three grains (on account of the three persons in the Trinity.) Then below those two circles in the uppermost part, which is called the southern angle, make a single cross, the leg of which may slightly enter the innermost circle. Then, from the right side of the cross, write .h. (the "exalation"), then .t., then .o. then .e. x . o. r. a. b. a. l. a. y. q. c. i. y. s. t. a. l. g. a. a. o. n. o. s. v. l. a. r [t]. y. t. c. e. k. s. p. f. y. o. m. e. m. a. n. a. r. e. l. a. c. e. d. a. t. o. n. o. n. a. o. y. l. e. [y]. o. t. m. a. and these letters may be made an equal distance apart, and may surround the circle. And with that series of letters which was previously named the circle will thus be filled with the great name of the Lord, Schemhamphoras, of 72 letters. This done, in the middle of the circles, namely in the center, make a pentagram thus:
in the middle of which should be the sign 'Tau', thus:
Then, below the uppermost angle of the pentagram, write these two
letters: .l.x.
Then, around the pentagram make a heptagon; it may touch the uppermost side of the pentagram, <its second> which is after the middlemost top angle, where are written .l.x.
And in the same side of the heptagon write this name of the
holy angel, which is Casziel.
Then, around that preceding heptagon, make another heptagon, not made like the first, but in such a manner that the one side of it will intersect the previous side of the same. Then make another such heptagon, like the first, whose seven angles touch the seven angles of the second heptagon, and the which should be shown doubled. <Yet here, the heptagon under the preceding second will be contained,> unum latus secundi heptagoni supernudo et aliud subenudo, sed latus primo angulo succedens subenudo ibit. et quae sequntur serie supereuntis et subeuntis alterutrum se habebunt. Then, in each of the angles of the second heptagon make a cross. Then, in that side (of the second heptagon) which goes from the last angle to the second angle of the same, in that part which is above the first syllable of Casziel, this syllable from a sacred name of God should be written: la, and above the last syllable of the same (Casziel) should be written this syllable: ya, and in the space [between] the intersection and the second cross should be written the syllable ly. Then, in that side which extends from the first angle of the second heptagon, and continues to the third angle of the same, this holy name of God should be written: Narath, and the first syllable, Na should be written in that space of the same side which is above the first syllable of Satquiel, and the syllable Ra in the space which is above the last syllable of the same, and the two letters 't,' 'h' made in that place which is in the same side between the side intersecting itself and the third cross. Then, in that side (of the same second heptagon) which extends from the third angle of the same to the fifth of the same, should be written this holy name of the Creator, which is called Libarre, such that the syllable Ly is written above the first syllable of Raphael, and the syllable bar is over the last syllable of the same, and the syllable re in that space of the same side which is between the side intersecting itself and the fifth angle of the same second heptagon. Then, in that side (of the same second heptagon) which is farthest from the fifth cross, this other sacred name of the Creator should be written: Libares, such that the syllable Ly is written in that space of the side which is above the first syllable of Michael, and the syllable ba in that space of the side which is above the last syllable of the same (Michael), and the syllable res in that space of the same side which is between the side intersecting itself and the last cross. Then, in that side (of the same second heptagon) which goes from the second angle (of the same second heptagon) to the fourth, this other holy name should be written: Lialg cum coniunctiua ita quod coniunctiua in illo loco eiusdem lateris scribatur which is above the first syllable of Samael and this syllable ly in that space of the same side which is above the last syllable of the same (Samael), and this syllable alg in that place of the same side which is between the side intersecting itself and the fourth cross. But beware that the coniunctiua (connective) should be written thus: [figure] with the inscription intersecting, because of the fear of God malum volitum dividentem. Then, on that side (of the same heptagon) that goes from the fourth cross to the sixth, write this other sacred name of God: Ueham, such that the syllable ve is written above the first syllable of Anael, and the letter h is above the last syllable of the same, and the syllable am is in the space of the same side which is [inter]secting the side itself and the sixth cross. Then on that side which goes from the sixth angle (of the same second heptagon) to the first angle, this other sacred name of God should be written: yalgal, such that the letter y is written in the space of the same side which is above the first syllable of Gabriel, and the syllable al is above the last, and the syllable gal should be written in the space of the same side which is between the intersection and the first cross.
Then, in the middle of the first side and the third heptagon,
to the right, should be written vos,
and in the next place Duymas,
and in the next Gyram,
and in the next Gram,
andin the next Aysaram,
and in the next Alpha,
and in the next
Then, in that small space which is under
the second and the third angle of the first
heptagon, should be written this name of God:
el, | |
Then in that small space which is enclosed
between the first angle of the second heptagon
and the second angle of the same, and the first side
of the third heptagon, and the part touching
those angles of the circle, draw a single cross in the
middle, namely in that space.
And in the top-left space of the cross, write the letter:
a,
Then in the middle of the next small space to the right,
write this name of God: Ely,
|
This of course comprises AGLA (acronym/name of God) based on "Attah Gibbor Le'olam Adonai," -- "the first four words of the second benediction of Shemoneh 'Esreh" See Agrippa OP3.11 and the Jewish Encyclopedia. The drawing in Sl. 313 shows the 'a' on the bottom left, and the 'l' on the bottom right. | |

After this you shall know that commonly in the exemplars the five-cornered star or amulet is made of red, with the space within dyed saffron [yellow], and the first seven-cornered star of azure, the second of saffron, the third of purple, and the round circle of Black. And the space between the circles where the name Schemhamphoras is, is died with saffron. At other spaces are to be coloured with green. <Where Tetragrammaton ye & the circle about that white, with the angels names and planets.> But in operations it must otherwise be done. For it is made with the blood either of a mole or of a turtledove, or a lapwing, or of a bat, or of them all, and in virgin parchment of a calf, or of foal, or a hind calf [i.e. deer]. And so is the Seal of God perfect. And by this holy and consecrated seal after it is consecrated, you may work operations which shall be declared afterwards in this book. The manner of consecrating of this holy seal ought thus to be as followeth. |

By the inspiration of God, Solomon said: there is only one God, one faith, and one virtue, which the Lord intended to be revealed to men and distributed of this wise. The angel [Samael] said to Solomon, "This shall you give to the people of Israel who also shall likewise give to others. So it has pleased the creator." And the Lord commands it thus to be consecrated: § First, let the worker be clean, not polluted, and let him do it with devotion, not deceytfully. § Let him not eat nor drink till he has done his work. § And the blood wherewith it shall be written, first must be blessed as shall be said afterward. Then the seal must be [per]fumed with amber, musk, aloes, lapdanum, white and red mastick, olibanum margarith [i.e. pearls], and frankincense, calling upon and praying to the Lord and all holy angels, by saying as follows: |

Now that we have finished the composition or making of the Seal of God, let us proceed to know how we shall obtain the vision or sight of the Deity.
First he that shall work must be very penitent and truly
confessed of all his sins. He must utterly forbear the company of
women and all their enticements, insomuch that he may not look
upon them. For as Solomon says, "It is better to abide with
a bear or a lion in their den than to be in a house with a wicked
woman." He may keep no company with wicked or sinful men,
for as David says, "With the holy you shall be holy, and
with the wicked you shall be wicked." Therefore he must lead
a pure and clean life. For David says, "blessed are the
undefiled and those that walk in the law of the Lord." Let
not his apparel be filthy, but rather new, or else very clean
washed. Solomon means here by the new garments virtue and
pureness of life, for God and his holy angels care for no worldly
things, and that does appear (?). For the poor men do sooner work
effectually in this art than the rich men. But in this work
following clean apparel is necessary, for angels do abide with
men and they be clean, and therefore they desire to have clean
apparel. And therefore Salomon did speak generally both of the
cleanness of the soul and of the cleanness of apparel. And let
him that shall work never be idle, lest his heart do the sooner
incline to sin. For the scripture says, "Be always doing
something lest you be found idle." And let him always pray
to God with these prayers following. For the scripture says,
"blessed is the servant whom the Lord when he comes shall
find waking."

Hermes said of thimiamate, of the Moon is cinnamon, lignum aloes, mastic, crocus, costus, maces, and myrtle. We put this that each planet has a part in it. |
Compare Agrippa OP1.44: "But Hermes describes the most powerful fume to be, viz. that which is compounded of the seven aromatics, according to the powers of the seven planets, for it receives from Saturn, pepperwort, from Jupiter, nutmeg, from Mars, lignum-aloes, from the Sun, mastic, from Venus, saffron, from Mercury, cinnamon, and from the Moon, the myrtle." |

Solomon, making a distinction upon the days and planets of the spice with which a man ought to make thimiamate, said that of Saturn is each good root in good and evil, of Jupiter all fruits, of Mars each tree, of Sol each gum, of Mercury each rind, of Venus each flower and odoriforus herb, of the Moon each leaf. Bacce, cardamonum wax, put also with these things. |
OP1.30: "every thing that bears fruit is from Jupiter, and every thing that bears Flowers is from Venus, all Seed, and Bark is from Mercury, and all roots from Saturne, and all Wood from Mars, and leaves from the Moon." |

suffumigation to call spirits as is ambra, lignum aloes, costus
muscus, crocus, and the blood of a lapwing, with thimiamate mixed
all together in equal portions, so that it be odiferus of the

OP1.43: "And Hermes saith, that there is nothing like the fume of Sperma Ceti [spermaceti] for the raising of spirits: wherefore if a fume be made of that, and Lignum-aloes, Pepperwort, Musk, Saffron, red Storax tempered together, with the blood of a Lapwing, it will quickly gather airy spirits together" |

Before that these .3. prayers folowinge be sayd ouer |
the bloude ye must go towardes Ierusalem that Is |
estwarde and ye must saye ouer the bloud þe exorcisme |
that Is sayd ouer þe salte that Is putt Into haly wat-|
er, and that must be sayd .3. but that þe names must be |
changed thus. I exorcyse the o þu creature of bloude, In |
the styde of þe creature of salte, which god commaundyd |
by salomon to be putt In to þe seale, In þe stide of which |
god commaundid by his prophet helyzeus to be putt |
Into water and so forthe of the resydewe, and this |
exorcysme thus sayd .3. with astole abowt thy neke the~ |
saye the prayers folowing thryse that donne þe bloude |
shall be consecrated and mete for the seale. |
[CXXXVII 20-22]Before that, these three prayers following must be said over the blood. You must go [=face] towards Jerusalem, that is, Eastward, and you must say over the blood the exorcism that is [also] said over the salt which is put into holy water. And that must be said three [times], except that the names must be changed thus, "I exorcise thee O thou creature of blood", instead of "... thou creature of salt," which God commanded by Solomon to be put into the seal, instead of which God commanded by his prophet Helyzeus to be put into water, and so forth of the rest, and this exorcism thus said three [times], with a stole [=scarf] about your neck, then say the prayers following thrice. That done, the blood shall be consecrated, and meet [=suitable] for the seal. |
This introductory paragraph to the rite of exorcism of blood is "discussed but not given in full" in the Latin manuscripts (Hedegård, p. 17). Also, the Latin manuscripts mention only salt, not substituting blood. |

Amen. [CXXXVII 1-19]O Invisible God, O Inestimable God, O Ineffable God, O Incommutable God, O Incorruptible God, O most mercifull God, O most Sweet God, O High and Glorious God. O God of infinite mercy, I, although an unworthy sinner, full of iniquity, deceit, and malice, most humbly come to your mercy, praying and beseeching you not to have respect to all and innumerable mine iniquities, but even as you are wont to have mercy upon sinners, and to hear the prayers of the humble and meek, even so I beseech you to vouchsafe to hear me, your servant, although unworthy, yet calling unto you for the blessing and consecrating of this blood, your creature, that it may be made apt and worthy for the ink of your most precious and Holy Seal, and of your name Schemhamphoras, so that it may have the aptnes and meteness which it ought to have by your most holy name, which is written with four letters, Joth, He, Vau, Daleth, Agla, Eloy, Yayin, Theos, Deus, which being heard all celestial, terrestrial, and infernal creatures do tremble, fear, and worship it. And by these your most holy names, On, Alpha and Omega, Principium, El, Ely, Eloe, Eloy, Elion, Sother, Emmanuel, Sabaoth, Adonay, Egge, Ya, Ya, Ye Ye, may this creature of blood be blessed, prepared, and made apt for the ink of your holy seal, and of your most holy name, Schemhamphoras, which is blessed, world without end. Amen. |
The exorcism of the blood is not found in the Latin manuscripts, though it is explained in the previous paragraph. Compare this exorcism with that in Scot, Discovery of Witchcraft Book 15, chapter 15. |

[XII. Oration 6. The Creed.]
[I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ,
his only Son, our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hell; the third day
he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church,
the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.]

Quia sicut sigillatibus [*singillatim] vnamquamqe | personam deum ac dominum confiteri: christiana veritate compellimur. | Ita tres deos aut dominos dicare: catholica religione prohibem-| ur.

[XIII. Oratio 7: Symbolum Athanasianum]
"Whoever wishes to be saved [and have the vision of God],
should above all things hold to the Catholic faith.
Whoevery fails to keep it whole and undefiled, without doubt shall perish everlastingly.
And the Catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity,
neither confounding the persons, nor dividing the substance.
For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit.
But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is all one, the glory equal, the majesty coeternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Ghost.
The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate, and the Holy Ghost uncreate.
The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible.
The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Ghost eternal. And yet they are not three eternals, but one eternal.
As also there are not three uncreates, nor three incomprehensibles, but one uncreate and one incomprehensible.
So likewise the Father is almighty, the Son almighty, and the Holy Ghost almighty.
And yet they are not three almighties, but one almighty.
So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God,
and yet they are not three Gods, but one God.
So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, and the Holy Ghost Lord,
and yet they are not three Lords, but one Lord.
For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge every person by himself to be God and Lord,
so are we forbidden by the Catholic religion to say there are three Gods or three Lords.
The Father is made of none, neither created, nor begotten.
The Son is of the Father alone, not made nor created, but begotten.
The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son, neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
And in this Trinity none is before or after another, none is greater or less than another.
But the whole three Persons are co-eternal together, and co-equal.
So that in all things, as is aforesaid, the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.
He therefore that will be saved must thus think of the Trinity.
Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation that he also believe rightly the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For the right faith is, that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man.
God, of the substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds; and Man, of the substance of his mother, born in the world.
Perfect God, and perfect Man, of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting.
Equal to the Father as touching his Godhead, and inferior to the Father as touching his Manhood.
Who, although he be God and Man, yet he is not two, but one Christ.
One; not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh, but by taking of the Manhood into God.
One altogether, not by confusion of Substance, but by unity of Person.
For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man, so God and Man is one Christ;
Who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the Father, God, Almighty; from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies; and shall give account for their own works.
And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting; and they that have done evil into everlasting fire.
This is the Catholic faith, which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen."

Clarify and purge me, and correct me according to thy most godly disipline, even unto my life's end. (Here recite your petition; if it is for the divine vision, say as follows:) And help me with thy godly council, that I may see thy divine majesty face to face, through thy infinite great mercy and goodness. Amen.
[XIX](If you wish to work towards obtaining some knowledge, or for the consecration of the book, or for the help of a spirit, then alter the petition in the oration preceding, thus saying.) Put forth thy hand and touch my mouth, and make it as a sharp sword, to pronounce these holy words, and make my tongue like a chosen shaft to pronounce and tell out thy marvels and wonders, and also to retain them in my memory. (If you are endeavoring for knowledge, then say as I have shown here, but if for the consecration of the book, say as follows.)
Put forth thy hand and touch my mouth and make it like a sharp sword, to consecrate and sanctify these as well deeds as words, and make them even as a chosen shaft, to confirm the truth of all thy wonders, and to pronounce them and to obtain them at my pleasure. (if for the invocation of spirits, say as follows.) Put forth thy hand and touch my mouth, and make it like a sharp sword, to declare and speak forth as well words as deeds as other things, to constrain and compel to come and to answer, to stand, and to go away, such spirits * N *, unto me * N *, the son of such a man * N *, to shew me the marvels of thy holy power, and to speak unto me, and to be subject unto me.
(And if thou wilt ask for any other thing than is aforementioned,
then always alter and change thy petition according to thy intent and
purpose. And not only in the foresaid prayers, but in all the other
prayers following.)

[L.]NINE prayers are set in the beginning which do last unto this prayer: 'helisthemaht hazaram' whereof the first 8 are a preparation of the way to work and to prepare the work to obtaine, but the 9 is of the effect of this work. As for the first 8, they ought to be said every day that you will work, very early in the morning before the break of the day, and no more to be said that day. And the 9 ought always to be said in the beginning of the prayers that followeth those 8, and in the end of them also. |

|
After that there be 8 other prayers following, which be called the 8 terms,
[or "Ends"] and they be good to cause you to obtain your request at God's hand,
so upon the Friday after you have truly repented yourself and confessed, you shall fast
bread and water, and very early in the morning before the break of the day, thou shalt say
10 prayers which thou shalt find written after, that is to say, the 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31,
32. And these must ye say with great devotion.
|
|
After that yow shall pawse a whyle remembring your petycion and
rehersing it and then shall ye saye the 8 termes afore wrytten and in the
ende of euery terme yow shall powse a lytle and reherse your petycyon.
After þt
[45r] when yow haue thus donne once in the morninge yow must doo so agayne abowt the 3 hower and lykewyse abowt the middaye & then yow may dyne. |
After that you shall pause a while, remembering your petition and rehearsing it, and then shall ye
say the 8 terms afore written, and in the end of every
term you shall pause a little and rehearse your petition. After that, when you have thus
done once in the morning, you must do so again about the 3 hour, and likewise about the midday,
and then you may dine.
|
|
The day folowinge þt is to saye upon satturday yow moste doo euen as
ye did the day before in any wyse upon the sonday yow shall doo lykewyse
sauinge þt yow shall nott fast but that yow may eatte fyshe or fleshe as ye

3 tymes, then in the nyghte folowinge shall be reuelyd unto yow by an
angell whether yow shall obtayne your petycyon or noo.
|
The day following, that is to say upon Saturday, you must do even as ye did the day before
in any wise upon the Sunday you shall do likewise, saving that you shall not fast, but that you may
eat fish or flesh as ye will, but moderately. Then after noon, that is to say when ye have prayed
3 times, then in the night following shall be revealed unto you by an angel, whether you shall obtain
your petition or no.
|
|
Yf your petycyon be graunted then shall ye doo as yow shall be tawght
in this booke, and yf hit be denyed then shall yow awayte another tyme and
in the meane whyle ye shall prepare your selfe better that yow may obtayne
your petycyon:
|
If your petition be granted, then shall ye do as you shall be taught in this book, and if it be denied,
then shall yuw await another time, and in the meanwhile ye shall prepare yourself better, that you may
obtain your petition.
|
|
But here is to be noted that this prayer, "O Jesu the
sonne," etc.
with that prayer that foloweth, "Elyminator" be cause it is parte of the
same prayer owght to be sayde thryse after euery tyme of your prayinge
softely and allwayes at the ende of them to reherse your petycyon then yf
þt be put backe that thow doest nott obtayne, then doo as yow dyd the
fryday saturday and sonday before sauynge that upon the sonday in stede of
your fast yow shall geue almose ["alms"] to 3 poore folke charytably and wt
good deuocyon.
|
But here is to be noted that this prayer, "O Jesu the Son," etc.
with that prayer that followeth, "Elyminator" because it is part of the
same prayer ought to be said thrice after every time of your praying, softly and always at the end
of them to rehearse your petition; then if that be put back that thou dost not obtain, then do as you
did the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday before, saving that upon the Sunday instead of your fast, you
shall give alms to three poor folk charitably and with good devotion.
|
|
after that in the fyrst moone that is to say the munday folowinge doo
as ye dydest before and after the same maner lykewyse the 2, 3, and 4 moone
or munday and so euen to the ende that ^paduenture god will haue mercy upon
thé, but in the latter prayers Yu must change thy petycyon that is to saye
Yu shallte nott desyer of god to graunte thé thy petycyon butt onely that
he wyll haue mercy upon thé.
|
After that in the first moon, that is to say the Monday following, do as ye didst before, and after the
same manner. Likewise the 2, 3, and 4 moon or Monday, and so even to the end that peradventure God will
have mercy upon thee, but in the latter prayers thou must change thy petition, that is to say, thou
shalt not desire of God to grante thee thy petition, but only that he will have mercy upon thee.
|
|
And it is to be noted that he that will saye those prayers or suche
lyke must be chaste and cleane and he must say them with greate deuocyon
and he that doth otherwyse he shall be openly plaged of god, in those
greke,
[45v]
hebrue and chaldey prayers there be the most sacred and hooly names
of god and his holy angells which owght nott to be spoken of man but only
thorow the mercy of godd, and when thow arte put bakke of thy request thow
oughtst not to dispayre but truely to confesse thy selffe and not to
dissemble with god and to serche thy conscyence thorowly and to geue almose
["alms"] largely, and to cause dyuerse massys to be sayd, and to say dyuers
prayers knelyng upon thy knees and with bitter teeres to entrete and
besiche almighty god to be merciful unto þe ffor thus were the wyse men
wont to doo to cume to theyr purpose.
|
And it is to be noted that he that will say those prayers or such like must be chaste and clean, and he
must say them with great devotion, and he that doth otherwise he shall be openly plagued of God. In those
Greek, Hebrew, and Chaldaic prayers there be the most sacred and holy names of God and his holy angels,
which ought not to be spoken of man but only through the mercy of God, and when thou art put back of thy
request thou oughtest not to dispair, but truly to confess thyself and not to dissemble with God, and to
search thy conscience thoroughly, and to give alms largely, and to cause diverse masses to be said, and
to say diverse prayers kneeling upon thy knees and with bitter tears to entreat, and beseech almighty
God to be merciful unto thee for thus were the wise men wont to do to come to their purpose.

But when you ask for science or knowledge, to be saved from evils, or for the knowledge of
the heavens and angels and their seals, or such things, then must ye do as is aforesaid,
of "lameht ragna" [XXVIII] and this prayer hath the same efficacy and strength that
"lameht ragna" hath, and somewhat more special, or that is better, except it be
in case that you will ask of the celestial spirits any great or hard thing, as to come down
and speak to a man, or else to constrain the spirits of the air or of the earth, to come and

eloquence given him in propounding of his cause that he shall soon obtain. But he must be chaste

when any spirit is called and doth come, that you may avoid the perils and danger and to obtain
wisdom and eloquence to speak boldly unto the spirit that is called.

Now Seing that he shall doo no other thinge althought he hathe done

and in the morning lett him go to the chyrche and as he goeth lett hym

release the oone, but by the space of 7 in order he must fast and abstayne
from all dedely syn
|
[LII.]
Now seeing that he shall do no other thing although he hath done, nor thought upon any sin,
yet let him continually pray upon God in other hours than in the first appointed hours, with
the 6th, 10th, and 12th prayers, and in the morning let him go to the church, and as he goeth
let him say the 16th prayer, and in the church let him say the 22nd prayer, and also the
14, 24, 21, 32, 33, 34, 29, 30, and so let him do continually by the space of 20 days, and let
him always take diligent heed that he fall into no sin, and if by chance he fall into sin, let
him forthwith repent and be confessed, and if he can, let him fast continually; if not let him
release the one, but by the space of 7 in order he must fast and abstain from all deadly sin.

then lett hym haue aware and a faythfull priste which may saye unto

then take francumsence and incense and cense the alter saying þe first
prayer and be cause the holy fathers did trust in þe sayntes þt were there
named therfore thei did so, and yf he that shall worke haue more douocyon
["devotion"] to any other sayntes then be ther named lett hym change name
for name for faythe dothe alwayes worke as I sayd before.
|
Then let him have a wary and a faithful priest which may say unto him matters prime and hours,
and a mass of the Holy Ghost, and in his introit let him say the 13th prayer, and after
the offertory the 9th prayer. Then take frankincense and incense and cense the altar
saying the first prayer, and because the holy fathers did trust in the saints that were there
named, therefore they did so, and if he that shall work have more devotion to any other saints,
then be there named, let hym change name for name, for faith doth always work, as I said before.
|
|
Then lett þe 2 prayer be sayde inimedyatly [sic] and after te igiter
in the masse lett be sayd the 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 prayers and so in consecrating
of þe body of Chryst, let the pryst praye for hym þt shall worke þt thorow
the grace of god he may obtayn the effecte of his petycyon and so must þe
pryst doo in all his prayers that he shall saye for hym þt shall worke but
adde nothinge ells to then [sic], also after þt poscconione þe pryst shall
saye the 26 prayer and after masse he that shall worke shall receue þe
sacrment [sic] sayng the 19 and 20 prayer, but lett hym take hide þt he
receue nott þe body of chryst for an euille purpose for þt were dethe unto

[47v]
I ame in the myddest of them
and euery thing that thei shall aske the father in my name and he will
fullfyll and doo it.
|
Then let the 2nd prayer be said immediately and after te igiter in the mass; let be said
the 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 prayers and so in consecrating of the body of Christ, let the priest pray for
him that shall work that through the grace of God he may obtain the effect of his petition.
And so must the priest do in all his prayers that he shall say for him that shall work, but add
nothing else to them. Also after the communion the priest shall say the 26 prayer, and after
mass he that shall work shall receive the sacrament saying the 19th and 20th prayer. But let him
take heed that he receive not the body of Christ for an evil purpose, for that were death unto
him, wherefore some have entitled this book calling it The Death of the Soul, and that
is true to them that work for an evil intent and purpose, and not to have some science or some
good thing; for the Lord sayeth "Ask, and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall finde,"
and in another place he sayeth "where 2 or 3 are gathered together in my name, I am in the midst
of them and everything that they shall ask the father in my name and he will fulfill and do it."

He that shall work must be willing in his work and utterly cleansed
from all filthiness, for the more he suffereth the more he shall
obtain, for if our superior, that is to say Christ, would suffer
for his subjected and inferiors because he would glorify them in his
sight, much more ought the inferior suffer for himself, that he may
please his Lord. For the sight of the Deity will not be had without
perfect pureness, for he will not be constrained, but prayed unto and
entreated. And yet it will be very hard to obtain it, for the Lord
hath given the Earth to men, and the knowledge of His Law, as David
testifieth, saying, "the Heaven of Heavens is the Lord's, but
the Earth hath he given to the sons of men," and in another place,
"take heed my people unto my law."
And because faith doth not merit where man is able to prove it by
natural reason therefore it is the hardest thing for a man to see
the Deity or Divine Majesty, because it is a thing supernatural.

In this work let never man remember death.
For through the virtues of prayer and the power of God in
whom he hath his whole trust, his body is made as it were a
spiritual body, and he shall be fed with spiritual meat,
even as the young crows or young ravens whom God of his mercy
doth nourish, as David testifieth, saying, "He doth give
the ox meat and the young ravens or crows that call upon him."
But let him who shall work beware that he be in no deadly sin, for
if he be he shall be mad ever after, and this is the cause, for
his understanding, which cometh from the soul, the which doth
desire to see God in whom it delighteth, and doth not see him
through the impediment of sin do the never after remember any
other thing. And therefore as conserving his body he is an unreasonable
creature, and so likewise we see many which be abstract
because they cannot obtain the thing that they
would have. God therefore of His Infinite Goodness
grant us grace to come to the sight of his Deity,
who liveth in the Trinity of Persons and in the Unity
of substance, world without end. Amen.

Now that ye be taught to come to the sight of the Deity, and of the
knowledge of the Divine Power, of washing away of your sins, and of
establishing of yourself that ye fall not into mortal sin, and of
the redemption of three souls out of purgatory, now will we treat
of purgatory. But if any man will work for any of these four, do as is before
said for the vision of the Deity, but you must change your
petition from "the sight of the Deity," into the petition of
"the knowledge of the Divine Power," or into the petition
of "remission of sins," or into "the establishing of
grace," or "for the redemption of three souls out of purgatory."
And so without doubt thou shalt the more easier obtain it.
And note, if thou wilt work for all these things aforesaid,
then thou must say every day the aforesaid Eight Termes with these ten

For these thou shalt regard neither the Moon nor the hour, but shalt
especially say them in the morning and about three of the clock,

a man through his frailty hath wrought amiss, and the more and oftener

[The Royal manuscript omits the rest of Liber Juratus, which includes more instructions on the invocation of angels, details on the spirits of the air, of the 4 cardinal directions, and the earth. Instead it appends the following material evidently derived from de Abano's Heptameron and Agrippa's de occulta philosophia. Curiously however, Agrippa (book III chap. 29) in turn quotes from "Peter Apponus [Petrus d'Abano] ... as delivered by Honorius of Thebes."]
