The Greater Key of Solomon

Solomonic ceremonial magic — distinct from the Lemegeton (Lesser Key)

The Greater Key of Solomon (Clavicula Salomonis): a major work of the Solomonic grimoire tradition, distinct from the Lemegeton or Lesser Key (whose first book, our Ars Goetia, we also publish) —the Greater and Lesser Keys are two different works, not one part of the other. It contains Solomon's prologue to his son Rehoboam, the operator's conditions, the planetary pentacles and the ritual operations. Our own diplomatic transcription of an 18th-century Latin manuscript (Gallica, BnF) —public domain— with each folio's facsimile alongside our transcription and translation. This is that specific manuscript recension, not every variant of the work. We reproduce no copyrighted modern annotated edition. Historical, educational material.
