Excerpt from The Greater Key of Solomon: Including a Clear and Precise Exposition of King Solomon's Secret Procedure, Its Mysteries and Magic Rites; Original Plates, Seals, Charms and Talismans IN presenting this celebrated Magical work to the Disciple of Occultism some few prefatory remarks are necessary. The key OF solomon, save for a curtailed and incomplete copy published in France in the seventeenth century, has never yet been printed, but has for centuries remained in Manuscript form inaccessible to all but the few fortunate scholars to whom the inmost recesses of the great libraries were open. I therefore consider that I am highly honored in being the individual to whose lot it has fallen to edit and publish the American Edition.
