13 . Clavicula Salomonis Regis ( The Lesser Key of Solomon, or, The Goetia ) . The author of this famed demonology grimoire is unknown. The work, in a partly complete form, was mentioned by Reginald Scot in 1584, and exists in manuscript form in the British Museum in several editions dating to the mid-to-late 1600s, based in part on Weyer’s Pseudomonarchia Daemonum . The Steganographia of Trithemius, earlier grimoires from the 14th century (including the Sworn Book of Honorius ), and possibly material from much older Gnostic texts. The work has also been known as the Lemegeton . and more informally as The Goetia . although this latter word (Greek for ‘sorcery’) actually refers to only the first part of the book. In all the Lemegeton contains five books (some versions contain only four, omitting the last book, Ars Notoria ): Ars Goetia ( The Art of Sorcery ); Ars Theurgia Goetia ( The Art of High Magic and Sorcery ); Ars Paulina ( The Art of Paul ), which is a reference to the apostle Paul; Ars Almadel ( The Art of the Almadel ), the ‘almadel’ being a wax tablet used for rituals; and Ars Notoria ( The Notable Art ), essentially a section of prayers deriving from much older texts. Although the notoriety of the Lemegeton is based on its representation of seventy-two demons and the means by which to contact and control them, it is not just a manual of sorcery, including as it does theurgical and religious practices.
