The Key of Solomon the King: Translated from Ancient Manuscripts in the British Museum (Forgotten Books)

Excellent book! This book was much easier to read and to follow than the American Version. It also had additional information that was interesting to read. I highly recommend reading this book if you are into higher magic. For the first time, I understand what I am doing. It explains why it is necessary to keep track of the hour, planets, signs, angels, colors, herbs, and incense....to make it easier to conjure up spirits. And we all know how hard that can be! So we need all the help we can get! And this book gives you the help you are looking for!

Great manuscript if you enjoy reading very heavy subject matter There are some statements that make you wonder, if you did apply them to life, if it would be the same out come. I guess you need a open mind to try what the instructions request. Buy it and read it

This is the first and only book for the magical arcana nerd. Pictures and the old incantations for various spells, names of angels, angelic script. Some bits of wisdom if you know how to plow this sort of field. Jumping point for stories, supernatural, demonology.

Unbelievably credible! Beats reading the same old Bible over and over into infinite insomuch that this book is a very innovative spin on the reality of a piece of history as recorded.

enjoyed it a good look into history

Awesome read

The Key Of Solomon the King is a grimoire, make no mistake, and a very specific one dealing with complex drawings of symbols and carving of Hebrew lettering. Perhaps the most important part of the book, really, is the pictures. In this copy of the book, many of the images are so poorly-photocopied that much of the text is illegible, and those that are not are still impossibly small. Many of the figures should be at least three times larger. Even more important, the first six figures, arguably the most important ones, are missing altogether. The book has also not simply taken the text from an existing perfect PDF version (there are many out there), but instead has been written by scanning a physical copy and using text-recognition software to copy it out. As such, there are typographical errors that are very obvious (capital I's become the number 1, the occasional comma is a right bracket, etc.). This is a copy of the best translation of the work, by Mathers, which takes reference from seven different manuscripts and compares them. Many of the footnotes are very useful in understanding the work, making it superior to any of the works by deLaurence. However, simply a little bit more TLC could have made this passable copy of the book great.

This book is full of interesting information. I haven't finished it yet, but will be reading it more than once.

Got this to add to the library for reference and to get to eventually. Pleased to have discovered it. Additional study recommended for course and personal interest.

Great quality. Looking forward to the knowledge within it.

Oh this is a book for a good winter - scary, for me at least. I am saving this book as I want to treasure the writing

The Wisest Always Proverbs is enough

good
