…bat be pounded and placed on a white stone, and pressed hard, and you collect the blood, as has been said, in a vessel, and let the words said above be spoken; or otherwise, cut off the head entirely with [the knife] and let the blood be collected, and as has been said, working otherwise, you shall never have blood. When you wish to work with the blood of other animals, draw it out; but first say over the animals the words said, and if they are to be killed, let them be killed with the artano; otherwise, if you work, the work shall not be completed. Of the Virgin Charter. Chapter Sixteen. In many arts the virgin charter is necessary, of a beast that never had union with male or female. A virgin charter is that which is drawn from the belly of a dead beast, or [that] which is born dead. Let there be taken, then, the [skin] unborn of any beast; say: Jehovah ✝; and carry it where no one sees you, and have the artano with you, and find an immaculate reed in the charnel-house, and cleanse it of all [its] fibers; then say over it the following conjuration: I conjure you, reed, by that like one with which [Jesus] was mocked by the Jews, by him who created you, [that] you receive strength and virtue, exorcizing this charter, [that] all that I write in this charter be brought to effect…

by him who lives and reigns through all ages of ages, amen. Then say this psalm: «God, give your judgment to the King»; and with the artano cut the reed at a single stroke, and of the said reed you shall make a knife on which are written these words with a reed-pen and the blood of an exorcized bird, as above: angel Adonay, Eie, Eloe, through you let the purpose be fulfilled; then say over the knife this prayer: God, who by a like reed were mocked by the Jews, by your mercy and piety give me strength and virtue, that all I ask through the invocation of your saints, angels and archangels, I may obtain, that I may make this charter which retains virtue in itself, and that all made from that charter may have effect, by him who with you lives and reigns in unity, etc. This said, with the said knife exorcize the said animal, saying by its name: Lazay, Balmay, Salmay, Adonay, daday, Tetragrammaton, augmentor, Codion, aurecunetor, athanatos, Theodamas, azios, Eloya, agios, Theophilos: holy angels, be to me in aid and give strength and virtue to this charter set [before you], [that] through you it be achieved in such wise that all that is written…

Post, habe filum filatum a puella virgine Et fac ab eadem tibi cordulam Unam longam dicendo, O Pater Noster, post jnquire lapides parvos rotundos in ripa fluvii Colligendo cum his verbis, Tetragrammaton fortissime Et Sanctissime jis jnfunde lapidibus virtutem Ut Siccare possint hanc chartam Et omnem fallaciam de jpsis efficias per optatam obtineat virtutem post, liget chartam cum dicto cultello Et dicta cordula Et lapidibus dicendo, Agla: Iod: Her: Vaul[?]: Emanuel adesto ad ligandum hanc chartam Et custodialis Ut nulla fallacia possit jntrare in eum, post, mitte ad Umbram in domo tua Secreta Ut a diem[?] videat per tres dies, Et quando ponis eandem ad Siccandum asperges eam, dicendo, in nomine ✝ amen, asperges jpsam domine Et mundabitur ab omnibus nequitiis Et super Nivem dealbabitur, tribus diebus Elapsis mundatur circulum[?] arctano dicendo, ancor: anacior: ainlecz[?]: theodamas: Estote in custodiam huius chartæ, post, fumiga Et repone in panno Serico Ut nullo modo videatur Et factor[?]

…in it may keep … truth. And once briefly exorcized, exorcize the salt in the following manner: God of gods, Lord of those who rule, who created all things from nothing, through you may this salt be blessed and sanctified, that it may save the charter I make, [that] all that is written in it may have effect. With the said salt it must be saved; and afterward leave it in the sun for a day; then take some vessel of baked earth, around which write these characters with exorcized pen and ink, as is seen in their chapters. [Illegible: a series of magical characters and seals.] In the said vessel put the flower of the white thistle, saying: Avnor, Corecim, Larcior, tetacimor, triophior, Alithona, Occinomos: attend and fill this flower, bless it and drive from it all deceit, that the charter made in it may have the desired virtue. Then take water in which you put the thistle flower, and make of it a milky [infusion] in which you put the said

skin, that it be made ready for three days; after which, scrape the flesh side of the skin with the said knife. Then make a circle with a hazel rod cut at a single stroke —say: Jehovah ✝— with the artano, saying before you cut these words: most holy Adonay, put virtue into this wood, that it may dry this charter. Then have thread spun by a virgin maiden, and have her make you a long cord, saying an Our Father; then seek small round stones on the bank of a river, gathering them with these words: Tetragrammaton most strong and most holy, pour into these stones virtue, that they may dry this charter; and make them [free] of all deceit, that they may obtain the desired virtue. Then tie the charter with the said knife, [with] the cord and the stones, saying: Agla, Iod, Her, Vaul, Emmanuel, attend to bind this charter and guard it, that no deceit may enter into it. Then put it in the shade, in your secret house, so that no one sees it, for three days; and when you set it to dry, you shall sprinkle it saying: in the name ✝, amen; I shall sprinkle you, Lord, and it shall be cleansed of all [its] iniquities, and whitened above the snow. After three days, [with] the artano [trace] the circle, saying: ancor, anacior, ainlecz, theodamas: be in the keeping of this charter; then fumigate and keep it in a silk cloth, so that it be in no way seen; and the operator…

Domine Exaudi orationem: Beati jmmaculati: Domine deus noster: Deus deorum. quam dilecta tabernacula: Deus in nomine tuo. Deus Judicium regi da.

…be pure, clean and neat, and all his works will have effect. The virgin charter could be made in another way, but it would not be of such virtue and efficacy. Of the Pen or other Instrument with which one Writes with Bloods. Chapter Seventeen. Let there be taken the pen of a goose or a swallow, the first of the right wing, which is called cortellus or cultellus, and is stronger than another pen; say before taking it: O Esmaniel, O angel Manuel and Muniel, be to me in aid, that with this pen I may write all the experiments which through you, in your name, are begun, [and] by the most high Creator are ended. Then smooth it with the knife or the artano, and let there be written on the rib [of the quill] with a needle this name: Aucneton; then say over the pen these psalms: «Behold, now bless»; «You, God, we praise». Let it be fumigated and bathed with blood, and put in a white cloth. In the same way are consecrated other instruments with which one writes with some blood.

How Wax or Earth is worked in the Experiments. Chapter Eighteen. In many arts wax or earth is worked to make an image and other necessary things. Note that, if one makes the image of someone, of earth or of wax, [the matter] must be virgin, and let the wax or earth be freshly produced; [if] it were of another condition, the image will have no effect. Virgin earth is that which lies beneath another, almost beside the water, never lit; clay. When you wish to work with earth or with wax, whether virgin or not, before beginning say this exorcism over [it]: Excitabor, Excitabor, Nescitabor, admor, Lazoinior, monoymon, asmandali, arcocali, Janicali, Codnucir, desirnias, alionas, contvinas, preapavides, oriodos, morbendas, almay, Colar, cephar, Heunar, Etquant, Deuman, Vevimant, Compares, Elaganiles, lionides, trophitides: attend to my aid, for I invoke you in my work, [that] what I begin through you, through you may be ended. This said, begin to say these psalms: «Lord, [my heart] is not exalted»; «Let God arise»; «Who shall dwell?»; «Blessed are those [whose sins are forgiven]»; «Lord, hear my prayer»; «Blessed are the undefiled»; «Lord, our Lord»; «God of gods»; «How lovely are your tabernacles»; «God, in your name»; «God, give your judgment to the King».

«Behold how good»; «God, my God, look upon me»; «In the going out of Israel»; «Have mercy on me»; «In turning back»; «Out of the deep»; «All nations, clap your hands»; «Lord, you have proved me»; «God, my God, to you from the dawn». Then you shall have three masses sung over that wax or earth; then fumigate it saying: I conjure you, wax or earth, by the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, who created all from nothing, by the invocation of the saints, angels and archangels, [that] you put virtue into this wax or earth, and in your name let it be sacrificed and blessed, and obtain the virtue it must obtain, through our Lord, etc. Then sprinkle it; and however often you wish to work with wax or earth, it is needful always to do as in this chapter has been said, before beginning, if you wish to have effect. Of the Needle or Iron Stylus. Chapter Nineteen. There are many experiments worked with the needle with which one writes; on the day and hour ✝ make it finished; take it in a private place and say over [it]: I conjure you by the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and by all the conjurations that are in the world, and by the virtue of stones and herbs, and lastly by him who can judge the living and the dead, and the world by fire, [that] you receive from the Holy Spirit and the most holy Creator

strength and virtue, and let there never be deceit … to do all I shall wish of you; then say these psalms: «Lord, how they are multiplied!»; «The heavens declare»; «Lord, my God»; «The Lord rules me»; «I will confess to you, Lord»; «Judge me, Lord»; «Because you have heard»; «Do not emulate»; «In you I trust»; «Waiting I waited»; «Consecrate me, Lord»; «As [the deer] longs»; «I will love you, Lord»; «God, you have rejected [us]». Then have three masses sung over the needle or the stylus; then fumigate and wipe, and afterward keep it in a silk cloth saying this: Abavnehata, Lameth, Balmavath, gedel, Sacia, Metaldoch, gelodia, martha, gamocida, baldelacia, geodavia, Comulavia, Compaviadum, lamedo, Ceodvion, Ombvion, Mison, Candon, arbon, Sion, geston, gesse, Agla, aglay, aglata or aglaoth, agladia, memoriones: most pious and best angels, attend as guardians of this instrument, for in many good needs it is useful; many necessary things are written with such a needle or iron stylus. Of the Membrane of kid or of cotton, and how it is worked. Chapter Twenty. Often the charter of membrane is necessary, whether of kid, of cotton, or of parchment; thus that charter is consecrated in the [following] written manner: first let there be put…

…in the blood, in a potsherd with lit coals; and holding the charter over the fumigations, let these psalms be said: «Lord, hear my prayer»; «How lovely are your tabernacles»; «Lord, my God, look upon me»; «Who shall dwell?» —and this conjuration: Bismilech, Salomas, Theophilas: Lord God Father almighty, who founded all things in your wisdom, who chose Abraham as a faithful servant, whose seed you multiplied like the stars, who to Moses, your servant, on Mount Sinai gave the law of salvation, who to Solomon, son of King David, above all men gave your wisdom: as a suppliant I adore your majesty simply, and implore your power doubly, that by your virtue this charter, I beseech you, may achieve it, and be prepared as is fitting, that it may obtain the virtue it must obtain, through [you], most holy Adonay, whose empire remains without end through the ages of ages, amen. Then sprinkle that charter, over which let five masses be celebrated; at last fumigate it, and afterward keep it in a silk cloth. Such a charter the disciples and exorcists carry in the Circle when the arts are performed, and they likewise carry pen and ink, and in these charters they make their petitions, and work everything from that [charter] which the spirit shall suggest to them; whereby they can never be deceived, if they observe the other precepts of this part of the Little Key. Of the Characters.

How [the characters] are to be written. Chapter Twenty-One. When someone wishes to make some [art] where it is necessary to write characters, let him guard against being deceived; when he must write in any place, let this holy name be written first at the beginning and at the end; and let this consecrated name be thus: Eyas, Serepher, asurbias; on a preserved virgin charter, say over this name the Office of the blessed Virgin Mary, and have nine masses sung; then fumigate and wipe, and keep it in a most clean silk cloth; and however often you wish easily to construct a character, at the beginning and at the end the said word must be written, saying: Most High Creator of all creatures, by your mercy and piety, upon your most holy name —which here is composed and written— impose strength and virtue, that it may be the guard of all creatures and of these characters, and that no deceit may be found in them. This done, write the most sacred character like that, or nearly, which you wish to make; and thus you shall not need to fear, for you have worked rightly and duly. Of Sacrifices: how they are made. Chapter Twenty-Two. It is fitting sometimes to make sacrifice to the demons.

fit autem jn diversis modis, aliqui jn animalibus nigris Sive albis, aliqui de Sanguinibus Eorum, aliqui recipiunt manus characteris[?], alii Scripturis Sacrificant, alii jn cibo Et potu: qui autem jn animalibus Sacrificant debent offerre[?] virginea cujuscunque Sint Conditionis quia Libentius accipient[?] Et obedient: qui vero jn avibus Sacrificant jn characteribus[?] aut Scripturis jlla Scriptura aut characteres debent esse deauvati[?] vel de vivissimo Colore pincti, Et antequam porrigatur Sacrificium Spiritibus, dicatur Supra jllud quod datur, Estote ad Serviendum nobis: postea fumiga Et asperge illud Sacrificium Et Scena Usque dum Volueris obedire Spiritibus Sicut jn avibus primi libri continetur, Illi autem qui Sacrificant jn cibo Et potu oportet quod Exstra[?] Circulum Cum mappa, pane, Et Vino, Et aqua, atque Etiam gallis assatis dicendo cum parata fuerint omnia Ubi estis Vos qui estis ad hoc prandium Et ad hanc cœnam Convivati, Venite quia Serviti eritis gratissime, Post, fumiga Et asperge atque jta dimitte quo usque Venerint ad prandium, Et jta penitus oportet Ut fiant Sacrificia dæmonibus, Et Sic multo promptiores Et faciliores sunt ad Serviendum.

It is done, however, in diverse ways: some with black or white animals, others with their bloods, others receive [in] hands [of] characters, others sacrifice with writings, others with food and drink. Those who sacrifice with animals must offer [them] virgin, of whatever condition they be, because [the spirits] receive them more willingly and obey. Those who sacrifice with birds, with characters or writings, that writing or those characters must be gilded or painted with very vivid color; and before the sacrifice is offered to the spirits, let it be said over what is given: be [ready] to serve us; then fumigate and sprinkle that sacrifice, and leave it [set out] until you wish the spirits to obey, as is contained [in the chapter] of the birds of the first book. Those who sacrifice with food and drink should, outside the Circle, with a tablecloth, bread, wine and water, and also roasted cocks, say, when all is prepared: Where are you, you who are invited to this luncheon and to this supper? Come, for you shall be served most graciously. Then fumigate and sprinkle, and so leave it until they come to the meal; and thus wholly it is fitting that sacrifices be made to the demons, and so they are much more ready and easy to serve. Of the new Silk Cloth in which [things] are kept. Chapter Twenty-Three. When certain things are consecrated, they must be placed

in a most clean cloth of silk or of linen, according to what the consecrated things are; let the more noble be taken. Let there be written, then, upon the most clean silk or linen cloths, thus these characters: [characters and seals], with pen and ink, and these names likewise: Adonay, asnobias, anereton, agla, athanatos, agios, ancor, anacor, anides, theodomas, agneston, cedion, lamech, tecel, phares, cos, tetragrammaton; then fumigate and sprinkle; which done, let these psalms be said over them: «Lord, our Lord»; «Bless, all the works of the Lord»; «God, give your judgment to the King»; «Praise the Lord from the heavens»; «Behold, now bless»; «Behold how good»; «You, God, we praise». After this let five masses be celebrated; then let them be placed among fragrant species and kept in a most clean place, and let all the consecrated things be kept in it for safekeeping. Of all the Precepts of the arts. Chapter Twenty-Four. We command all operators of the arts that, before…

…they begin any work, for nine days let them have cleanness in themselves; and in this space of time let them seek all that is necessary, and in the nine days let everything be prepared on a consecrated day and hour, and also exorcized, so that on a true day and hour it be ready in keeping; and if the said things were consecrated by a faithful priest, and covered with linen, they would be of much greater efficacy. The keeping, then, ended, on the day and hour let him go to the appointed place and make the Circle, and charge the disciples not to move from the place on any occasion, though they see wonders: if they see mountains, towers, fires falling upon them; if they see [their] parents killed, the world utterly ending, by whatever terror they see; for these things can in no way harm them, and are all illusions. After this many other tribulations will come: disordered, deformed and monstrous peoples, most wicked beasts and diverse voracious serpents, dragons and other infinite things. Afterward, peoples of fair form, benign and without fury; nevertheless, the disciples must stand with heads bowed and let everything pass; and if it were most grievous for them to endure such things, let them cover their eyes with their garments. And let the master be a robust man, who ever comforts the companions, saying: fear not, for we are near to our intent. At last will come the King of kings, emperor of emperors, and with him many magnates, bringing with them every kind of musicians and instruments making

most sweet melody; and [wishing] to pass by, if he would, then let the master, as if disdainful, ask: Where are you going? Then they will all make a great din, tempests, lightnings, flashes, thunders and other things worse than at the beginning; then let the Master and the disciples uncover the pentacles toward that part, which shown, all clamor and fury will cease. And then the Emperor will say: From the time of Solomon until now there has been no exorcist who has seen my person, except those who had the equipment and all that you show us; wherefore, since you so grievously force us … that [you are] of the progeny of Solomon or of his companions —for few have that by which we, against our ill will and against our will, can come—; but for the fear and the most grievous constraint you lay upon us, against our ill will it behooves us to come to you; and therefore, because we cannot defend ourselves nor contradict your words, nor avail [anything] against the fear of your pentacles, we wish to be obedient and meek. Then let the Master and the companions make the petitions they desire, giving them in writing, and they will receive them and make [their compact] with their princes; afterward they will return to you your petitions and say: fulfilled is what you ask; let your will be done; and at once they will give you what you ask. Then give them…

…licence, as has been said above in the first book, in the chapter of all the arts, toward the end of that chapter. Of the Images of Astrology. Chapter Twenty-Five. In this chapter are contained all the sciences of this book, which for that reason I likened to the images of astrology, which are innumerable, because it would be impossible to gather [them into] one [alone] of this book. First, it must be noted that no experiment, in any way, can be perfected —neither grave nor light— unless all the chapters of this book, or nearly all, are worked in it; and therefore the operators of the arts who do not know this book will never reach effect; therefore, [that] someone [may] be sated with the chapter of the images in reading this book; but it is fitting that it be read from the beginning to the end, if he wishes to have good success. Wherefore I beg him into whose hands this secret shall come not to hand it to anyone, because the more he reads, the less he will know; for if he does not keep this book with a pure heart, his science will avail him nothing. You, who wish to be skilled in this art, at the beginning of this operation of the whole Little Key must choose a day and hour ✝, in the waxing of the [moon], and prepare the water and the hyssop; and on the following other day ✝, prepare the silk cloth; and thus

when you wish to perfect some chapter of the art, await another day ✝ and its hour, in the waxing of the [moon]. When you consecrate something, place yourself in a secret spot, and with the preparation of the potsherd with coals and exorcized species, exorcized and lit candles, making the fumigations; and over all [the things] together let nine masses be celebrated; after this, await the day on which you wish to begin and end, and [take] from the silk cloth with [its] solemnity; and when you have worked, keep it in the cloth; and so of all the other arts. And therefore, in this chapter is briefly comprised all the science of this book. End of our Little Key. [Decorative flourish.]
