The Secrets of Solomon
Seventeen thresholds through spirits, pentacles and the little world
AN OCCULT HALL ILLUSTRATIONEnter its world.
The Secrets of Solomon survives here in manuscript Rps 3352 II, a seventeenth-century Latin witness. Its attribution to Solomon is part of its claim to authority, not its historical date.
Our seventeen lessons follow the book’s changing explanations: personal characters and agreements, delegated spirit offices, celestial and elemental intelligences, material preparation, and the stone called a little world. Each lesson connects original commentary with the manuscript pages and an individual modern illustration.
The complete 116-page digitization is available in the reader. Thirteen misoriented scans have been rotated without changing their encoded images; every source page remains in its original sequence. Empty or unfinished diagrams remain visible as evidence of this particular copy.
