Goetia
01 / 16 / 2012
Edited, Verified, Introduced and Commented by Aleister CrowleyThe Book Of The Goetia of Solomon The King, Translated into the English Tongue by a Dead Hand and Adorned With Divers Other Matters Germane Delightful To The Wise containing descriptions of the seventy-two demons that King Solomon is said to have evoked and confined in a bronze vessel sealed by magic symbols, and that he obliged to work for him.
The Ars Goetia assigns a rank and a title of nobility to each member of the infernal hierarchy, and gives the demons "signs they have to pay allegiance to"or seals. The lists of entities in the Ars Goetia correspond (to high but varying degree, often according to edition) with those in the Steganographia of Trithemius, circa 1500, and Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum an appendix appearing in later editions of his De Praestigiis Daemonum, of 1563.
