INTRODUCTION:

Liber Juratus is one of the oldest and most influential texts of Medieval magic. The almost legendary reputation of this work led to the forgery of the so-called Grimoire of Pope Honorius, a ridiculous work so despised by Eliphas Levi and A. E. Waite.

According to Lynn Thorndike, Magic and Experimental Science II, 281 ff, it is also known as Liber Sacer or Liber Sacratus by which name it is mentioned at least twice in the thirteenth century.

The only attempt at publishing any significant portion of this text was Daniel Driscoll's The Sworn Book of Honourius (sic) the Magician, Heptangle Books, 1977. Unfortunately, Driscoll did not make use of the best manuscripts, omitted large portions, misread and misplaced angelic names and words from the prayers, and otherwise took serious liberties with the text. It is however a fine example of the book publisher's craft, and has become a valuable collectable.

The Sworne Book is represented in several manuscripts including the following found in the British Museum:

• Royal MS 17Axlii (Latin and English, dated mid sixteenth century because of borrowing from Agrippa not found in the older manuscripts). 82 folios. The title in the catalog reads 'The Sworne Book of Honoryus.'
• Sloane MS 313 (late fourteenth or early fifteenth century). This manuscript is known to have been in the collection of John Dee, and contains marginal notes in his handwriting. The title in the catalog reads simply "Tract on Magic.", or "Salomonis opus sacrum ab Honorio ordinatum, tractatus de arte magica"
• Sloane 3849 (art. 7) Excerpts from LJ.
• Sloane 3853 fol 163f: The Divine Seal of Solomon.
• Sloane 3854: (art. 9, fol 117-144) 14th century. "Honorii Magistri Thebarum liber cui titulus 'Juratus.'" or "Liber Juratus, vel liber de vita Animæ rationalis Qui Liber Sacer, vel Liber Angelorum nuncupatur quem fecit Honorius Magister Thebarum," etc.
• Sloane 3883: (fols. 1-25) 17th century. "De modo ministrandi sacrum" (revealed to Solomon by an angel)
• Sloane 3885: (fols. 1-25) 17th century. "Liber sacer Salomonis," repeated at fold 96v-125; (fols. 58-96) "Tractatus de re magica ab Honorio filio Euclidis magistro Thebarum ex septem voluminibus artis magicae compilatus, et intitulatus Liber sacer, sive juratus.", or "Opera Salomonis ab Honorio ordinata" (cursive script).

The following text is from the Royal MS (abbreviated R) with variant readings from Sl.3885 (abbreviated S) and Sl.3854 (designated S2). The diagram of the Sigillum Dei Aemeth is taken from Sloane 313. This is very close to the (although considerably corrupted) version shown in Athanasius Kircher in his monumental work Oedipus Aegyptiacus (1562). The drawing of the sigil does not occur in Royal, Sloane 3854 or Sl.3885. The version in Sloane 3853 (reproduced in C.J.S. Thompson, The Mysteries and Secrets of Magic, New York, 1973, pg. 186, but without identifying the source) is somewhat different.

John Dee, in his Mystical Experiments, was originally told to use a version found in one of his books. Dee consulted several sources, and consulted the angels to resolve the discrepancies. This prompted them to detail an almost totally new version of the Sigil. One of Dee's sources was apparently Sl.313. Roberts and Watson, in their 1990 John Dee's Library Catalogue, pg. 168, identify Sloane 313 as being one of Dee's manuscripts. They give it catalog number DM70, and note, "On fol.9 (originally the first leaf, fol.1-8 having been misbound) is [Dee's ladder symbol] and, very faint, 'Fragmentum Magicum', which may be in Dee's hand. At the foot is 'Sum Ben: Jonsonij liber'."

Note also that the section 'On the composition of the Divine Seal' also occurs in the Hebrew version of the Key of Solomon (fol. 3b-5b).

Also of interest are the 'scribal doodlings' on the first folio of the Royal MS (as well as other illuminations and drawings of angels later in the MS -- which I hope to add at a later time) which are very reminiscent of the mysterious Voynich Manuscript, which also went through the hands of Kircher.

Note too that the Orations found in Liber Juratus are earlier versions of those found in the Ars Notoria, for example:

[1r] when wycked sprites ware gathered to gether intending to sende devills in to the hartts off men to the entente thay wolde dystroy all thinges profytable ffor mankynde and to corrupte all the whole worlde even to the uttermost off there powr sowing ipocrysye and envy and rooting bysshops and prelates in pryde even the pope him selfe and his cardenalles which gathering them selves to gether sayde won to another as here folowethe */*/*/*/*/*/*

the helth which the lorde hathe gevin his people is now through magecke and negromancy turned in to the damnacyon of all people, for even the magyans them selves being intoxycated and blynded by the devill, and contrary to the order of christes churche and transgressing the commandement of god, which dothe saye thow shalte not tempe the lorde thy god, but him only shalte yu serve, but these negromancers or magyans denying the sacryfyce dew unto god and inn tempting him hathe donne sacryfyce unto devills and abused his name in calling of them contrary to the profession made at there baptin, [1v] for there it is sayd: for sake the devill and all his pompes, but thes magyans and negromancers dothe nott follow only the pompes and workes of sathan but hathe also brought all people through there mervelus ellusyons in to ye errors drowing the ignorant and suche lyke in to the damnasyon bothe of sowle and body, and they thinkinge this for no other purpose but that by this they shulde destroye all other scyences, it is thought rite therfore to plucke up and utterly to dystroy this dedly roote and all the followers of this arte, but they throughe the instygasyon off the devill and being moved wt envy and covetusnes under the simylytude of truthe they did publyshe and spred abrode ye falshed speking false and unlykely things, for it is nott possible yt a wiched and unclen man shulde work trwly in this arte, for men are not bownde unto sprites, but the sprites are constrayned agaynst yr wills to answere men yt be clensed or clene, and to fulfill there requestes, yet agaynst all yos willes we have gone abowt to set forrthe the princyples of this arte [2r] and ye cause of truthe, and for that cause thay had condemned this arte and judged hus to dethe. we therfore throughe godes sufferance having a fore knoledge of that judgement knowing also yt by it shulde folow miche mischefe and yt it was impossible to us to scape the handes of the people by owre owne strengthe wt owt the helpe of sprites dowting yt a greter danger would folow upon it, for the wicked power of the sprites att owre commandement wolde have destroyed them all utterly in on, wherfore we called on generall counsell off all the masters in the which counsell of *811* masters which camme owte of naples athence and tholetus we dyd chuse on whose name was honorius the sonne of eucludus master of the thebares in the which cytye this art was redd yt he shulde worke for us in this sayde arte, and he throughe the counsell of a certayne angell whose name was hocroel dyd wryte *7* volumes of arte magicke, geving unto hus the kernel and unto others the shalles owt of the which bookes he druu owt *93* chapiters in the which is bryffely contayned [2v] the effecte off this arte, off the which, chapters he made a booke which we doo call the sacred or sworne booke for this cause, for in it is contayned ye *100* sacred names of god and therfor it is callyd sacred as ye would saye made of holy thinges, or elles be cause by this booke he came to the knowledge of sacred or holy things, or elles be cause it was consecrated of angells, or elles be cause the angell hocroell did declare and show unto him yt it was consecrated of god, then they princes & prelates being pacefyed wt burning of certen fables or tryffles, thought verely this arte had bin utterly destroyed, and therfore we being somwhate moved made this othe amounge oure selves, first yt this book shulde be delyveryd to no man untyll suche tyme as the master of the arte were in jeoberdye of dethe and yt it shulde be copyed but unto *3* att the most, and yt it shulde be delyveryd to no woman nor to any man excepte he were off lawfull aghe which shulde also be both godely and faythfull whose godely behaver had bin tryed by the space of a whole yere, and yt this booke shulde no more here after [3r] be destroyed, but yt it shulde be restored agayne to ye honore or to his successors, and yf there cane nott be founde an able and a sufficyent man to whome this booke nighte be delyveryd, yt then the master bynde his executors by a stronge othe to bury it withe him in his grave, or ells he shall him selfe whyle he liveth bury it him selfe, in some place honestely and clenly, and newer affter to revele the place by any curcumstances to any creature, and yf the master shall have nide of any scollers or will prove then any man of wayes yt for to fulfyll his commaundenentes yff nide be they shall even suffer dethe rather then they will declare ayther the sayinges or doinges of there master, or yt he knoweth any suche thinges, nor declare any suche thing by any man of surcumstances. and lyke as a father dothe cause on of his sonnes to love another, even so doth the master unytte and kintt together his discyples or schollers in concorde and love so yt alwayes the on shall helpe to bayre the others burthen, nor on shall nott revele the secretes of a nother, but they shall be faythfull off on mynde and concorde, and he yt [3v] he shall trewly performe observe and kepe every artycle off his othe and for this cause this is calyd the sworne booke: (*ffinis prologu
