The Sworn Book of Honourius the Magician

The Sworn Book of Honorius (in Latin, Liber Iuratus Honorii) is one of the oldest as well as one of the most influential existing medieval grimoires, or works of mediaeval magic. It was prepared from two British Museum Manuscripts. The oldest preserved manuscript, Sloane MS 3854, dates to the 14th century; other Sloane MS 313 dates to the late 14th or early 15th century. This edition is Daniel J. Driscoll's version of this old and important grimoire. The work was pioneering both in terms of making the text available in English translation, and for the production of a grimoire as a handsomely printed object of virtu. The grimoire of Honorius is an important witness to the transmission of angel magic, kabbalah (qabbala) and Jewish mysticism to European hermeticists and magicians. This text is supposedly the product of a conference of magicians who decided to condense all their knowledge into one volume. In 93 chapters, it covers a large variety of topics, from how to save one's soul from purgatory to the catching of thieves or finding of treasures. It has many instructions on how to conjure and command demons, to work other magical operations, and knowledge of what lies in Heaven among other highly sought information. Like many grimoires, it has lengthy dissertations for proper operation and seals to be used. ritual high magic magick ceremonial ritual wicca evocation conjuration devil demon satan angel archangel tome wisdom spirituality ancient tome seal of god exorcism holy names of god purification planetary angels agrippa nettesheim zodiac moon scan0070.jpg 1 scan0002.jpg 2 scan0003.jpg 3 scan0004.jpg 4 scan0005.jpg 5 scan0006.jpg 6 scan0007.jpg 7 scan0008.jpg 8 scan0009.jpg 9 scan0010.jpg 10 scan0011.jpg 11 scan0012.jpg 12 scan0013.jpg 13 scan0014.jpg 14 scan0015.jpg 15 scan0016.jpg 16 scan0017.jpg 17 scan0018.jpg 18 scan0019.jpg 19 scan0020.jpg 20 scan0021.jpg 21 scan0022.jpg 22 scan0023.jpg 23 scan0024.jpg 24 scan0025.jpg 25 scan0026.jpg 26 scan0027.jpg 27 scan0028.jpg 28 scan0029.jpg 29 scan0030.jpg 30 scan0031.jpg 31 scan0032.jpg 32 scan0033.jpg 33 scan0034.jpg 34 scan0035.jpg 35 scan0036.jpg 36 scan0037.jpg 37 scan0038.jpg 38 scan0039.jpg 39 scan0040.jpg 40 scan0041.jpg 41 scan0042.jpg 42 scan0043.jpg 43 scan0044.jpg 44 scan0045.jpg 45 scan0046.jpg 46 scan0047.jpg 47 scan0048.jpg 48 scan0049.jpg 49 scan0050.jpg 50 scan0051.jpg 51 scan0052.jpg 52 scan0053.jpg 53 scan0054.jpg 54 scan0055.jpg 55 scan0056.jpg 56 scan0057.jpg 57 scan0058.jpg 58 scan0059.jpg 59 scan0060.jpg 60 scan0061.jpg 61 scan0062.jpg 62 scan0063.jpg 63 scan0064.jpg 64 scan0065.jpg 65 scan0066.jpg 66 scan0067.jpg 67 scan0068.jpg 68 scan0069.jpg 69
