The Key of Knowledge (Clavicula Salomonis)

Transcribed from British Library, Additional manuscript 36674.

The present text is a sixteenth century English translation of the Key of Solomon, the most famous of Grimoires, or handbooks of magic.

In producing his 1889 edition of the Key of Solomon, three manuscripts escaped S.L. Mathers' attention, or he chose to neglect them. They are Sloane 3645, 3847, and Additional Ms. 36,674. All three are in English. It is not clear to me why he did not mention them, but they do not in fact seem to have been used by him, as the wordings and layout are quite different. Mathers' translation seems to be mainly from the Colorno class of manuscripts written in French.

The following is a complete transcription of the English Key of Solomon from Add. 36674, with alternate readings from Sl. 3645. The Add. manuscript dates to mid- to late-16th century. Add. 36674 also appears to be in the same hand as that found in the beginning of Sloane 3854. Sl. 3645 is dated 17th century [1], and seems to be based solely on the earlier manuscript. The drawings included here are based on those in the Sloane manuscript, as they are more legible, and were copied very closely from the older manuscript.

The catalog entry reads as follows:

36674.  COLLECTIONS relating to Magic and Witchcraft from the papers
        of various 16th and 17th century astrologers, finally put together
        probably in the library of John Somers, Lord Somers (v. catalogue
        in Harl. MS. 7191, f. 158 b). The table of contents on f. 3 is in
        the same hand as Somers' catalogue. Artt. 1-4 belonged early in
        the 17th cent. to Gabriel Harvey, the poet and friend of Spenser,
        who has annotated them throughout (compare the hand with
        Add. MS. 32494). Art. 10 and probably some other articles were
        collected by Elias Ashmole. Later owners are noticed below.
    Contents:-
    1. "Here begynneth the booke of Kynge Solomon called the Kay
        of Knowledge," to which Harvey adds "Clavicula Salomonis.
        Extat Latine: et legi." In two books. There are many treatises
        with similiar titles, but this does not agree with the Clavicula
        edited by S. L. M. Mathers (London, 1889), nor with the treatise
        known as Lemegeton. The first rubric is "Orysons to be sayde
        when you coniure," and the last "Here follow the the manner howe
        to make the Pentacle." In a late 16th cent. hand. f. 5.

Contrary to what the catalog entry states, nearly all of this text does in fact closely parallel Mathers' edition, although the wording is simpler in the present text.

* Omitted by Mathers, but found in Mathers' primary sources.

It is also full of Christian references which are absent in Mathers' edition and other manuscripts of the Clavicula.

Regarding the third early English translation, Sloane MS 3847, although it has many parallels with the two English manuscripts represented in the present text, it does not seem to be directly related. Rather, it appears to be an independent translation, probably from the Italian or Latin. It is not included in the present edition.

I have taken the liberty of moving the table of contents for book 2 to the beginning of this transcript for convenience.

Lord Jhesus Christ the lovynge Sonne of god, w^ch doest illuminate the hartes of all menn in the worlde; lighten the darknes of my harte, and kyndle the fier of thy most holy loue yn me; giue me true fayth, perfect charyty, and vertue, wherby I may learne to feare and loue thé and kepe thy commaundements in all thinges; that when the last daye shall come, the Anngell [Sl 3645 reads Angells] of god may peaceably take me, And deliuer me from the power of the deuill, That I may enioy euerlastinge reste amyds the company of the holy Sayntes, and sytt one thie right, Graunte thes thou sonn of the lyuing god for thy holy names sake. Amen. Lord Jesus Christ, the loving son of God, which dost illuminate the hearts of all men in the world, lighten the darkness of my heart, and kindle the fire of thy most holy love in me. Give me true faith, perfect charity, and virtue, whereby I may learn to fear and love thee and keep thy commandments in all things; that when the last day shall come, the angel of god may peaceably take me, and deliver me from the power of the devil, that I may enjoy everlasting rest amidst the company of the holy saints, and sit on thy right. Grant this, thou son of the living God for thy holy name's sake. Amen.

I confes to thé lord god the father of heauen and Earthe, and to the good and most benigne Jhesu Christ to gether w^th the holy ghoste, before thy holy Angells, and before the true maiesty of thy cros that I was conceyued in synn, and from my Baptisme contynued therin. I confes furthermore that I haue synned in pryde, in anger, in glotonye, and in whatsoeuer mans fraylty may synn, I haue synned; Therfore I pray you all the Sayntes, in whose sighte all thes thinges I haue confessed, that you witnes w^th me in the day of iudgmente, against the deuyll, and so I beinge cleane and confessed of all my synnes, lett me appeare before thé (ô most hyghe) righteous, and graunt the [Sl. 3645: thy] grace to me by thy [Sl. 3645: thine] ineffable clemencye, that I may see and knowe all the Spyrytts w^ch I woulde haue, and accomplish my wyll and desyre. Amen. I confess to thee, Lord God, the Father of Heaven and Earth, and to the good and most benign Jesus Christ together with the Holy Ghost, before thy holy angels, and before the true majesty of thy cross, that I was conceived in sin, and from my baptism continued therein. I confess furthermore that I have sinned in pride, in anger, in glottony, and in whatsoever man's frailty may sin, I have sinned. Therefore I pray you all the saints, in whose sight all these things I have confessed, that you witness with me in the day of judgment, against the devil, and so I being clean and confessed of all my sins, let me appear before thee (O Most High) righteous, and grant thy grace to me by thine ineffable clemency, that I may see and know all the spirits which I would have, and accomplish my will and desire. Amen.

[Of yo^r Coniuratiõ, w^th A maledictiõ therunto belonginge. Cap. 3.]

Lord god almighty father w^ch dydst make all thinges, w^ch knowest all thinges, for nothinge is hydd ne impossible to thé, giue me grace to knowe and understande the vertue of all prenityes, w^ch art hydd by thy most holy mercy and hyttye, by that thy ineffable, worshipfull and fearfull name Hyach, by the w^ch all the worlde shall tremble, and by whose feare, all creatures doe obaye, graunt me also that the secrett of the secretts of all the spyrytts may be opened before me, gently obayinge me, and my commaundementes, thorough the most holy Adonay, whose kyngdome endureth for euer. Amen. Lord God almighty father which didst make all things, which knowest all things, for nothing is hid nor impossible to thee, give me grace to know and understand the virtue of all prenities (?), which art hid by thy most holy mercy and hyttye (?), by that thy ineffable, worshipful and fearful name Hyach, by the which all the worlde shall tremble, and by whose fear, all creatures do obey. Grant me also that the secret of the secrets of all the spirits may be opened before me, gently obeying me, and my commandments, through the most holy Adonay, whose kingdom endureth forever. Amen.

When these ar done lett the coniurer aryse, and putt bothe his hands layde after the fassion of A cross, vppon the pentacle, and let one of his companions allwaies holde te book openn, before hym; and lett hym loke into the Ayer, into the 4. partes of the worlde: Afterwards lokynge vppõ the booke, lett hym saye as followeth. When these are done, let the conjurer arise, and put both his hands laid after the fashion of a cross, upon the pentacle, and let one of his companions always hold the book open before him; and let him look into the air, into the four parts of the world: afterwards looking upon the book, let him say as followeth:

Lord my god, be thou to me A tower of defence against the face of all euyll spyrytts;

Lord my God, be thou to me a tower of defense against the face of all evil spirits.

Afterwards lett hym turne hym selfe, first to the East, next into the Southe, then into the Weaste, and North, and in euery parte saye; Afterwards, let him turn himself first to the East, next into the South, then into the West, and North, and in every part say:

Beholde the signes and names of that conquerer, by whome you arr dayly feared, and feare, obey me therfore by thes most secretts of all other.

Behold the signs and names of that conquerer, by whom you are daily feared, and fear, obey me therefore by these most secrets of all other.

Straight way after lett hym beginn to coniure, those spyritts, as that Arte doth commaunde, w^ch then he hath in hande, w^ch done they wyll appeare quickly, yf not then call them as followeth [6v] and knowe that yf they weare bound in yron, they wyll come, or sende A messynger. Straight way after, let him begin to conjure those spirits, as that art doth command, which then he hath in hand, which done they will appear quickly. If not, then call them as followeth and know that if they were bound in iron they wyll come, or send a messenger.

I Coniure you sutch Spyritts naming them, by the father, the sonn, and the holy ghoste, and by hym w^ch shall comme to iudge the worlde both the quicke and deade, by fyer; and by the natyvyte and Baptisme by the deathe and rysinge agayne of Christe, by the comminge of the holy ghoste o^r comforter, by holy Mary, the mother of o^r lord Jhesus Christe, by hyr vyrgynnitye, by the 7 giftes of the holy ghoste, by y^e natiuyty of S^t John Baptiste;

Also lett this gospell followynge be wrytten, or sayde ouer yt. Also, let this Gospel following be written or said over it:

In those daies, Jesus was ledd into the wyldernes of the spyrytt to bee tempted of the deuyll, and after he had fasted 40^. daies he was an hungred, and the deuyll the temptor, comminge vnto hym, sayde: yf thou bee the soñn of god, commaund that thes stones may be made breade: Jhesus, answearinge sayde: yt is written, That man lyueth not only w^th breade, but w^th euery worde, w^ch commeth out of the mouth of god: Then the deuyll ledd hym into the holy cytty, and sett hym vppõ the penacle of the churche, and sayd vnto hym, yf thou bee the sonn of god, cast doune thy selfe headlonge; for yt is wryttenn; That he hath giuen his Anngells commaundement ouer thé, and they shall take thé vpp, in ther handes, lest thou should be hurte: Jhesus, sayde vnto hym. Againe yt ys wrytten: Thou shalt not tempte the lord thy god; Againe, the deuyll toke hym vpp into â very high hyll, and showed hym, all the kyngdoms of the worlde, and ther glory; and sayde; All thes I wyll giue thé, yf thou wylt fall donne before me, and worshipp mee: Then Jhesus sayde, Avoyde, Sathan, for yt ys wryttenn; That thou shalt worshipp the lord thy god, and hym only shalt thou serue: then the deuill lefte hym, and his Anngells came, and mynistred vnto hym. ##

In those days, Jesus was led into the wilderness of the spirit to be tempted of the devill, and after he had fasted forty days he was an hungered, and the devil the temptor, coming unto him, said: "If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones may be made bread." Jesus answering said: "It is written, that man liveth not only with bread, but with every word which cometh out of the mouth of God. Then the devil led him into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the church, and said unto him: "If thou be the Son of God, cast down thyself headlong, for it is written that he hath given his angels commandment over thee, and they shall take thee up in their hands, lest thou should be hurt." Jesus said unto him: "Again it is written, 'Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.' Again the devil took him up into a very high hill, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; and said: "All these I will give thee if thou wilt fall down before me and worship me." Then Jesus said: "Avoid, Satan, for it is written that thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." Then the devil left him, and his angels came and ministered unto him.

Which done, thou shalt worke accordynge to thy howers: In other experymentes w^ch rather ar euyll then good, wryte or els saye this verse followynge. Which done, thou shalt work according to thy hours. In other experiments which rather are evil than good, write or else say this verse following:

Afterwardes, perfume the letters or verse; and sprincle them wyth water, ffynally, take heade, least those, whom thou callest, deceiue thé; whitch to auoyde, behaue thy selfe, as this booke prescrybethe. Afterwards, perfume the letters or verse, and sprinkle them with water. Finally, take heed lest those whom thou callest deceive thee, which to avoid, behave thyself as this book prescribeth.

In the circumference of the greater circle make crosses. Also, a foot behind this latter circle, make a Quadrangle, in the top of every corner make a cyrcle, one to set the pot of coals in, and in another let there stick a sword, a foot space from the pot. All which being done, let the Master bring in his companions by the gate of the circle, and let one of his fellows standing towards the East, have pen and ink in his hand, and each of the others a naked sword. Let them take heed they move not the pot. Things being thus ordered, let the master go forth to kindle the fire, and caste therein the perfumes, and light him a great candle, exorcized as shall be said hereafter, which he shall put in a lantern. And then let him shut the gate of the circle. After this, let him perfume himself, and his fellows, and the place with water.

Jesus answering said: "It is written, that man liveth not only with bread, but with every word which cometh out of the mouth of God. Then the devil led him into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the church, and said unto him: "If thou be the Son of God, cast down thyself headlong, for it is written that he hath given his angels commandment over thee, and they shall take thee up in their hands, lest thou should be hurt." Jesus said unto him: "Again it is written, 'Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.' Again the devil took him up into a very high hill, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; and said: "All these I will give thee if thou wilt fall down before me and worship me." Then Jesus said: "Avoid, Satan, for it is written that thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." Then the devil left him, and his angels came and ministered unto him.

Whosoeuer desyreth to knowe any experyment, and bringe yt to pas, he ought to cõsider the howers and daies meete for that purpose; Chuse thé therfore the day of Mercury, yn the increase of the Mone; and cause all thy instrumentes to be wroughte, and made in that same daie. And soe likewyse the nexte daie of Mercury, vntill all be p^rparedd, requisite for yo^r Arte. Then all thinges beinge in readines, marke againe the dewe howe^r; and then begiñ to worke when thou wylte.	Whosoever desirest to know any experiment, and bring it to pass, he ought to consider the hours and days meet [suitable] for that purpose. Choose thee therefore the day of Mercury, [Wednesday] in the increase of the Moon; and cause all thy instruments to be wrought, and made in that same day. And so likewise the next day of Mercury, until all be prepared, requisite for your art. Then all things being in readiness, mark again the due hour; and then begin to work when thou wilt.
When all thinges neadfull ar p^rpared, and layde vpp in the clothe abouesayde; make, 9: masses bee sayde ouer yt; w^ch beynge doñe, thou mayst safely worke w^thout feare; neyther shalt thou neade to obserue any solempnity after in thy experimentes, But loke when thou hast fynnesshed thy worke, that thou lay vpp all thinges in thy clothe aforesayde.	When all thinges needfull are prepared and laid up in the cloth above-said, make nine masses be said over it. Which being done, thou mayst safely work without fear; neither shalt thou need to observe any solemnity after in thy experiments. But look when thou hast finished thy work, that thou lay up all things in thy cloth aforesaid.
