Synopsis
The Sworn Book of Honorius is one of the oldest and most influential texts on medieval magic (dating to the fourteenth-century). It is here translated for the first time since a partial translation was done in the sixteenth-century. This grimoire represents a complete system of magic: including how to attain the divine vision, communicate with holy angels, and control aerial, earthly, and infernal spirits for practical gain. It was a key text used by John Dee-who owned two of the most important manuscripts-and is a know influence on his Enochian magic and its modern derivative. Although largely ignored by historians until recently, this text is an important witness to the transmission of Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism to Christians. This volume includes the complete Latin text, carefully checked against known manuscripts, and related texts in Latina, German, and English. It brings new light to obscure elements found in other texts (like the Heptameron). In addition, this edition includes an introduction, extensive commentary, annotations, and index by Joseph Peterson. Book jacket., As the title testifies, students were sworn to secrecy before being given access to this magic text, and only a few manuscripts have survived. Bits of its teachings, such as the use of the magic whistle for summoning spirits, are alluded to in other texts. Another key element of its ritual, the elaborate "Seal of God," has been found in texts and amulets throughout Europe. Interest in The Sworn Book of Honorius has grown in recent years, yet no modern translations have been attempted - until now. Purporting to preserve the magic of Solomon in the face of intense persecution by religious authorities, this text includes one of the oldest and most detailed magic rituals. It contains a complete system of magic including how to attain the divine vision, communicate with holy angels, and control aerial, earthly, and infernal spirits for practical gain.

Overall, a great purchase from a good seller.

- m***m (929)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI gave the book 4 stars because oddly enough it was printed with the title page to the left instead of to the right. This makes every page one off so the page numbers are on the inside instead of the outside of the pages. This makes it difficult to find a page you are looking for! The condition is new and the value is good. But the quality could be better.
