Introduction by J. H. Peterson.
Johann Weyer (1515-1588) was a pioneer in the fields of medicine and psychiatry. He
was also a firm believer in magic, and was in fact a student of one of the most famous
occultists of all time, H. C. Agrippa. His Praestigiis Daemonum (1563) was basically apoint-by-point rebuttal of the hateful witch hunter's handbook, Malleus Maleficarum. His
book includes interesting reports of Faust, Agrippa, and Trithemius from a contemporary
witness. Sigmund Freud calls the Praestigiis Daemonum one of the ten most significant
books of all time.
As an appendix to this monumental text, Weyer added a catalog of demons which hecalled Pseudomonarchia daemonum. Weyer referred to his source manuscript as Liber
officiorum spirituum, seu Liber dictus Empto. Salomonis, de principibus & regibusdæmoniorum ("Book of the offices of spirits, or the Book of sayings of Empto. Solomon
concerning the princes and kings of the demons") It includes variations in the names ofmany of the demons, showing that it had been redacted by the time Weyer obtained it, so
it was evidently much older than 1563.
It has long been recognized that the first book of the Lemegeton, Goetia, corresponds
closely with Weyer's catalog of demons, though in Weyer’s text there are no demonicseals, and the demons are invoked by a simple conjuration, not the elaborate ritual foundin the Lemegeton.
The most striking difference between Weyer’s text and the Goetia is the order of spirits. I
see no explanation for the difference; it’s almost as if a stack of cards got scrambled.
There are also four additional spirits in the Goetia (number 3, and the last three).
Another anomaly may be of more significance: The fourth spirit in Weyer’s text, Pruflas
alias Bufas, was accidently left out of Reginald Scot’s English translation (found in hishighly rational 1584 Discovery of Witchcraft), or was already missing from the edition ofWeyer used by Scot. It is also the only spirit from Weyer’s list that is not found in the
Lemegeton. If a specific edition can be found which introduced this defect, it may thus bepossible to fix the date of the composition of the Goetia in its present form.
