...versus orientem. Deinde dicite: Apolin, Maraloth, Berith. Ego talis vos exoro sciens et coniuro ex parte Dei omnipo- tentis, qui vos vestra electione ins[tituit?] [pos]sit contra servientibus profundi, ut debea- tis michi mittere quendam spiritum peritum dogmata omnium scientiarum, qui michi sit benevolus, fidelis et placidus ad d[oc]te[ndum?] Deum[?] omnem sciam quas voluit[?] veniens in forma magistri, ut nullam formi- dinem doleam per ipse.

...toward the east. Then say: Apolin, Maraloth, Berith. I, so-and-so, beseech you knowingly and conjure you on the part of God almigh- ty, who instituted you by your own election [so that you may] [prevail] against those who serve the abyss, that you must send me a certain spirit skilled [in] the doctrines of all the sciences, one who may be to me benevolent, faithful and gentle, to teach [me]; that I may know all he willed[?], coming in the form of a master, so that I may suffer no dread through him. Be it done, be it done. Likewise I conjure you by the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and these holy names, by whose virtue [you are bound], namely: Sobel, Vriel, Sabaoth, He- moni, Adonay, Tetragramaton, Albumay[?], Siloth, Moveth[?], Elohym, Sadobel[?], Sonriel[?], Pavabiel, Alatuel, [name?] [name?], Isobel. I conjure you, [spirits?] most [ready?] to me, my companions, prepa- red for me, that you strive to send one of your subjects, one who may be master of all the sciences, coming in a most amiable human form, favoring me and helping me with love, in such wise that within the term of 30 days I may be able to attain such knowledge. [And let him not dismiss it?]... ...knowing how to give it to you...

licenciam recedendi, et hoc etiam tociens di- ci debet. Hac vero dicta, depone ensem et invol[v]e mundo panno, et facto fasciculo cuba super ipso, et aliquantulum dormias. Post sompnum vero surge, et induas te [?] facto fasciculo homo se spoliat et[?] intrat cubiculum, ponendo dictum fasci- culum sub capite. Est autem sciendum quod dictis hiis coniurationibus sompnus accidit virtute divina. In sompno apparent tibi tres maximi reges cum famulis innumeris, militibus et peditibus, inter quos est etiam quidam magister apparens, cui ipsi tres reges iubent. Dicta ipsum vero peractum videbis: enim et reges fulgentes mira pulchri- tudine, qui tibi in dicto sompno viva voce loquentur, dicentes: «ecce tibi da- mus quod multociens postulasti», et dicent illi magistro: «sit ipse tuus discipulus, quem docere iubemus omnem scienciam sive artem quam audire voluerit; doce ipsum taliter et erudi, ut in termino 30 dierum in quacumque scientia voluerit su[m]m[am?] [prae] alios habeat». Et videbis ipsum respondentem: «dicentem: domini mei libentissime faciam». [etc.]

...license to withdraw; and this too must be said just as many times. And when this has been said, lay aside the sword, wrap it in a clean cloth, and once the bundle [amulet] is made, lie down upon it and sleep a little. After the sleep, rise and clothe yourself... once the bundle is made, the man strips himself and enters the bedchamber, placing said bundle beneath his head. And it must be known that, when these conjurations have been said, sleep comes upon [one] by divine virtue. In the sleep there appear to you three greatest kings with innumerable servants, horsemen and footmen, among whom there also appears a certain master, whom the three kings command. This being accomplished, you will indeed see the three kings resplendent with wondrous beauty, who in said sleep will speak to you with living voice, saying: «behold, we give you what you have often asked for», and they will say to that master: «let this be your disciple, whom we command you to teach every science or art he wishes to hear; teach him thus and instruct him, so that within the term of 30 days he may have, in whatever science he wishes, the highest [rank] above the others». And you will see him answering the king: «saying: my lords, most gladly will I do it». [etc.]

ulterius. Hiis dictis, reges abient, et magister solus remanebit, qui tibi dicet: «surge, [ecce] magister tuus». Hiis vero dictis excitabe- ris statim, aperies oculos et videbis quendam magistrum optime indutum, qui tibi dicet: «da michi ensem quem sub capite tenes». Tu vero dices: «ecce discipulus vester paratus facere quicquid vultis». Tamen debes habere pugillarem et scribere omnia que tibi dicet. Primo debes quaerere a magistro [nomen suum?] et nomina virtutum, [que] ipse dicit, et tu scribas. Secundo, de quo ordine [sit], et similiter scribe. Hiis scriptis debes sibi postulare ensem, quo habito ipse recedit dicens: «expecta me donec veniam». Tu nichil dices. Magi- ster vero recedet et feret ensem. Post- quam recesserit, tu dissolvas pannum, ut apparet inferius; etiam scribas in dicto cir- culo nomina eius scripta per te et sibi [?] [?] cum predicto sanguine. Quo scripto, in vol- [v]a [pannum?] per manum et bene reconde. Hiis factis debes ieiunare solo pane et pura aqua, et illa die non egredi cameram. Et cum pertransierit [?] statim per manum et iterum coniurabis versus Apolin pro sic: «O rex Apolin magne, potens et venerabilis...»

...further. When this has been said, the kings will depart, and the master will remain alone, who will say to you: «rise, [behold] your master». And when this has been said you will wake at once, you will open your eyes and see a certain master excellently attired, who will say to you: «give me the sword which you keep beneath your head». And you will say: «behold your disciple, ready to do whatever you wish». Yet you must have a writing-tablet and write down everything he tells you. First you must ask the master [his name] and the names of the powers, [which] he speaks, and you shall write them. Second, of which order [he is], and likewise write it. When these have been written you must ask him for the sword, and once he has it he withdraws saying: «await me until I come». You shall say nothing. But the mas- ter will withdraw and carry off the sword. After he has withdrawn, you shall untie the cloth, as appears below; also write in said cir- cle his names, written by you, and to him [?] [?] with the aforesaid blood. This written, wrap [the cloth?] by hand and store it well away. When this is done you must fast on bread alone and pure water, and that day not leave the chamber. And when it has passed [?] at once by hand and again you shall conjure toward Apolin thus: «O king Apolin great, mighty and venerable...»

TranslationEnglish

...I, your servant, believing in you and wholly trusting that you are strong and mighty. I ask by your incomprehensible majesty, that your servant and subject, such a master of mine, must come to me —which by you can be commanded to be done—, by your virtue and power, which is great and greatest unto the ages of ages, Amen. And let the same be said toward Maraloth, changing the names. And toward Berith like- wise. When this has been said, take of the said blood and write in the midst of the circle your name with its [order], with your whole heart, as here appears below. Then write with the said blood in the four angles those names, as here they appear. (the figure of the circle follows)

Si autem sanguis unius avis non suffecerit, potes interficere quot tibi placet. Quibus omnibus factis, sedebis per totam diem in circu- lo, aspiciens ipsum, nichil loquendo. Cum vero sero fuerit, plica dictum pannum, spolia te et ‹deepseek: plica, no «publica» — cf. «plica pannum» infra› intra in cubiculo, ponendo ipsum sub ca- pite tuo, et cum posueris dic sic, plana voce: «Apolin, Maraloth, Berith, Sathan, Beliath, Belzebub, Lucifer: Supplico vobis ut praecipiatis magistro meo (notando eius nomen) ut ipse debe- at venire cras ante solis ortum ad me et docere me talem scientiam sine aliqua fallacia, per illum qui venturus [est] iudicare vivos et mortuos et seculum per ignem. Amen». Cave igitur et percave ne signum crucis facias ante magnum periculum. In som- no scias quod videbis magistrum tota noc- te loqui tecum, interrogans [de] illa quam scientiam velis addiscere; et cum dices talem, ita quod, ut dictum est, tota nocte tecum de hoc loqueris. Cum itaque excitatus fueris, quia et in ipsa nocte surge et accende cande- lam, et accipe dictum pannum et devolue, et in eo sede, scilicet in circulo ubi nomen tuum scriptum est, ad tuum comodum, et voca nomen ‹deepseek: voca (invocar), no «vota»› magistri tui; sic dices: «O talis de tali ordine...»

TranslationEnglish

And if the blood of a single bird does not suffice, you may kill as many as you please. When all these things are done, you shall sit the whole day in the circle, gazing at it, speaking nothing. And when evening has come, fold the said cloth, strip yourself and enter the bedchamber, placing it beneath your head; and when you have placed it, say thus, in a plain voice: «Apolin, Maraloth, Berith, Sathan, Beliath, Belzebub, Lucifer: I beseech you that you command my master (noting his name) that he must come tomorrow before sunrise to me and teach me such science without any deceit, by Him who is to come to judge the living and the dead and the world by fire. Amen». Beware therefore, and take great care not to make the sign of the cross before the great peril. In the sleep know that you will see the master speak with you the whole night, asking [about] which science you wish to learn; and when you say which one, so that, as has been said, the whole night you will speak with him of this. And so when you have awakened —for even in that very night— rise and light a can- dle, and take the said cloth and unfold it, and sit upon it, that is, in the circle where your name is written, at your ease, and call the name of your master; thus you shall say: «O so-and-so, of such an order...»

...[in mag]istrum michi dedit, quod maiores reges tuos te deputaverunt, ut velles in forma benigna docere me talem scientiam, quam scire concupio [pre] omnibus mortalibus, dicens ipsam cum magno gaudio, sine aliquo labore et omni tedio derelicto. Veni igitur ex tuorum parte maiorum, qui regnat per infinita se- cula seculorum, amen. Fiat, fiat, fiat. Hiis itaque dictis, tunc aspicies versus oc- cidentem: videbis magistrum, ut ante, cum multis discipulis, quos vocabis, ut omnes abire iubeat, et statim recedunt. Quo facto ipse magister dicet: «quam scientiam desideras?» Tu dices «talem». Et tunc inci- pies exclamato animo, quod quantum tibi dicet tantum addiscere et memorie commendabis; et docebit scientiam quam habere volueris; addisces in termino 30 dierum. Et cum ipsum de ca- mera abire volueris, plica pannum et re- conde, et statim recedet. Et cum ipsum ve- nire volueris, aperi pannum et subito ibidem apparebit, continuando lectiones. Post vero terminum 30 dierum, doctus optime in scientia, fac tibi dare ensem tuum, et dic ut vadat, et cum pace recedat. Debes iterum dicere [...] scientiam qui tibi dicet ad tui libitum. Explicit [finis] capituli secundi. Etc.

TranslationEnglish

...gave [him] to me as master, [saying] that your greater kings charged you to be willing to teach me in a benign form such science, which I desire to know above all mortals, dictating it to me with great joy, without any labor and with all tedium laid aside. Come, therefore, on the part of your greater ones, [by Him] who reigns through the infinite ages of ages, amen. Be it done, be it done, be it done. This being said, you shall then look toward the west: you will see the master, as before, with many disciples, whom you shall call so that he may command them all to depart, and at once they withdraw. This being done, the master will say: «what science do you desire?» You shall say «such». And then you will begin, with resolute spirit, to learn as much as he tells you and commit it to memory; and he will teach the science you wish to have: you will learn it within the term of 30 days. And when you wish him to leave the cham- ber, fold the cloth and store it away, and at once he will withdraw; and when you wish him to come, open the cloth and instantly there in the same place he will appear, continuing the lessons. And after the term of 30 days, most excellently instructed in the science, have your sword given back to you, and tell him to go, and to withdraw in peace. You must again say [...] the science which he will tell you at your pleasure. Here ends the second chapter. Etc.

Ad hoc igitur ut scientiam sive artem possit ab a- liquo auferri, unde diligenter attende. Debes enim primo, decrescente luna, die sabbati, ire ad illum quem ad mentem venire vo- lueris, et coram eo, sic dicta plana voce, submitte: «Anael, [Caruelytuum?] (vox magica) et omnem sapientiam, sensum et discretionem, cogitationem diluat et aboleat». Coniuro te, Anael, et omnes principes et maiores et potestates, que facere voles, ut in tali [quo] officio debe- as permanere, donec michi libuerit, et ipsum obfuscare et omne quod agnoscit amittere. Alioquin mittam te in maris profundum, quod non egredieris in secula. Quibus dictis recede et [epistolare?] donec sero fuerit; quo facto vade ad hostium eius, et [mitte?] de ligno ipsius hostii tantum quod de ipso calamum facere possis, et ad domum vadeas et fac de ipso calamum; et de sanguine murilegi, in panno lini, cum ipso calamo scribe: «O Anael, ablator[?] sapientiae, scientiae cognitionis et artis, adsis in ser- vientibus talis, et artem facere debes». [...] ... qua convocacione scripta sit in dicto panno, circulus cum dicto sanguine, ut hic appa- ret, ubi scribitur ut sequitur.

TranslationEnglish

To this end, then —that a science or art may be taken away from someone—, attend carefully. You must first, at the waning of the moon, on a Saturday, go toward the one whom you wish to bring to mind, and before him, saying thus in a plain voice, whisper low: «Anael, [Caruelytuum?] (magical word) and let it dissolve and abolish all his wisdom, sense, discernment and thought». I conjure you, Anael, and all the princes and greater ones and powers, [whom] you will to do [it], that in such an office you must remain, until it pleases me, and that you obfuscate him and make him lose all that he knows. Otherwise, I shall send you into the deep of the sea, from which you will not come forth for the ages. When this has been said, withdraw and [wait?] until it is evening; and this done, go to his door, and [take?] of the wood of his very door as much as you can make from it a pen, and go to your house and make from it a pen; and with the blood of a cat, on a linen cloth, with that pen write: «O Anael, remover[?] of wisdom, knower of science and of art, be present against the ser- vants of so-and-so, and you must take away the art». [...] ...with which invocation being written there is made in the said cloth a circle with the said blood, as here appears, where is written what follows. The name of him whom you wish to deprive is written in the midst of the circle, with this name [Anael]; when this is done you must say thus: «I conjure you that you soon efface...»

TranslationEnglish

When you wish to obtain the love of some woman —whether far or near, noble or otherwise, for whatever day, as noted—, be it to increase it or to [prevent] its loss: first you must have a certain wholly white dove, and a carta (parchment) made from [virgin?] flesh while it is in heat, of which you must take the lightest part; and you must know that the said carta is most powerful for the love of women, according to the art. You must also have an eagle's quill, and in a hidden place take the said dove and bite it with your teeth on the veins, rouse it until you succeed; and with the eagle's quill, upon the said carta and with the said blood, write the names of her whom you want, forming the image of a naked woman... saying: "I form so-and-so, daughter of so-and-so, whom I desire to have, by the name of these six warm spirits, namely Tubal, Sathan, Reuces, Cupido, Afalion, Duliato, that she may love me above all [men] of this world." This done, write on her forehead her name and this name, Tubal, saying: "you are so-and-so, daughter of so-and-so, disposed to my will, and you are Tubal upon her forehead." So I command... binding the blood of her head to me, desiring. Then further write on her right arm "Sathan", and on... (continues on the next folio)
