This book, translated and edited by the occultist Samuel Liddell
Mathers (1854-1918) and published in 1889, introduced to Victorian
England an important work of Renaissance esoterica. Purportedly the
deathbed testament of King Solomon to his son, distilling all the
angelic wisdom he received in his lifetime, it provided its readers
with detailed instructions in conjuring, divining and summoning
God's power to work 'experiments', or spells. For Mathers, it
represented 'the fountain-head and storehouse of Qabalistical
Magic' and formed a central part of his efforts to lend scholarly
respectability to occult research. Mathers edited the text using
available manuscripts at the British Museum, and it continues to
offer authoritative and fascinating insight into both Renaissance
occultism and its Victorian revival. Features of this edition
include introductions from three distinct manuscripts, a table of
the planetary hours and their magical names, and spells for
producing invisibility, creating magic carpets and identifying
thieves.
