Lesser-Key-Of-Solomon

ApPENDIX I. ADDENDA
FOUND IN SLOANE 2731 AND 3648
Sloane 2731 omits the 5 th book, Ars Notoria, but instead inserts three folios
(30-32), containing:
A list ofnames, some with corrupt Hebrew lettering;
An experiment relating to recovering stolen goods;
Explanations of the circle and "triangles" ofSolomon;
Alternate versions of "The 5 th Wandring prince Emoniel" and "the 7th
spirit called Soleriel" from Book 2.
These articles derive from Sloane 3648, which does include Ars Notoria,
as well as extracts from Agrippa, Paracelsus, and de Abano. The first two
articles are clearly unrelated to the Lemegeton. However, the "explanations"
were included by Mathers in his edition ofthe Goetia. Since they
are ofexegetical nature, I have included them in this appendix.
The "explanations" refer to diagrams found in Book 1. They contain lists of
sacred names with corresponding short phrases that are more of the character
of prayers rather than etymologies. The lists contain corrupted versions
of the names listed in the magic circle from the Goetia. They are
based ultimately on Agrippa, De Occulta Philosophia, Book II, chapter 13
(Leiden: E.]. Brill, 1992), p. 289. Mathers supplied the title "Explanation
of certain names used in this book Lemegeton," but given the content, it
should read "The Explanation of the Circle of Solomon." Oddly, Mathers
omitted the subheadings.
This is followed by two similar lists titled "The Explanation of the
two triangles in the Parchment" and "The Explanation of Solomon's
Triangle."
