THE BRIEF INTRODUCTORY DESCRIPTION
(N.B. This is taken from several MS. Codices, of which the four principal
variations are here composed together in parallel collumns as an example of
the close argreement of the various texts of the Lemegeton.
For in the whole work the differences in the wording of the various
Codices are not sufficient to require the constant giving of parallel readings;
but except in the more ancient examples there is much deterioration in the
Seals and Sigils, so that in this latter respect the more recent examplars are
not entirely reliable.)
