Sepher Raziel (Sl. 3846)

Book of the Angel Raziel

See also the new edition and transcription, which has been prepared by Sanne de Laat.

This grimoire was well known by the end of the fifteenth century. According to Joshua Trachtenberg,
it was probably compiled in the thirteenth century (Jewish Magic and Superstition, p. 315.) Trithemius
mentions it as one of his sources for his Steganographia. It was also apparently used by Agrippa in his
book On Occult Philosophy on which see the critical edition by V. Perrone Compagni.

The following English translation of the Book of the angel Raziel, is text is taken from Sloane MS.
3846 in the British Library, fols. 128r-157v. The text is closely related to that in Sloane 3826, though
neither seems to be directly based on the other.

A transcription of the text from Sl. 3826. has been prepared by Don Karr. I have noted some variants
from Karr's transcription (abbreviated K).

Therefore I will expound or make plaine & open this Booke which is
of a great power & of a great vertue. I Salomon put such a knowledge

that is the booke of Sothnes (?) & of fullfilling & it was the first booke
after Adam written in language of Caldey [=Chaldaean] & afterward
translated in hebrue. And know each man that readeth it, that in it is all
Semiforax, that is the great name compleate with all his names whole
& euen & with his vertues & his sacraments & I found in it 7 bookes
that is 7 treatises. And know yee that I found the first & the last full
darke & the twey10 middle more playne. And allthoug I found them
darke, I expounded them as much as I could & might. And the 7
treatises of this booke be these.

[Contents]
The first is said Clavis for that in it, is determined of Astronomy,
& of the starrs for without them we may doe nothing.
The second is said Ala, for that in it is determin'd of the vertues
of some herbs, of stones & of beasts.
The third is said tractatus Thimiamatus for that there is
determined in it of Suffumigations & of allegacions of them &
diuisions.
The fourth is said the treatise of tymes of the yeare or of the day
& the night for that it is determined in it when euery thing ought
to be done by this booke.
The fift is said the treatise of Cleanenesse for that there is
determined in it of Abstinence.
The sixt is said Samaim for that it nempness [nameth] all the
heauens & her angells & the operations or workings of them.
The 7th is the booke of vertues for that then is determined of
vertues & miracles for there be told the properties of the Arte of
Magicke, & of his figure & of his ordinance of the same.

And Then I began to write all these treatises in a new volume for that
one treatise without another suffiseth not to the holynes of the worke;
therefore I made an hole booke to be made of 7. treatises. Therefore
Solomon bad to his writer Clarifaton that he should write it which
knew well the language of Caldey of Inde & of Ebrew [Hebrew] &
Syrike & his right explanation Natheus (?)11 Salomon after that 11. K: Methelis.
Clarifaton said corrected it & dressed (?) after that it should be the
better & ordeined it in the better manner that he might. Clarifaton said
that was the writer of Solomon that this booke is of such greate vertue, 12. in soothness: in truth.
priuitie & of full greate honour & it was sent to Solomon for such
great price & most loue. And euerych treatise of these was written by 13. we troth so: we pledge it is so.
it selfe, but although it be so it ought to be one booke alone by it selfe,
for none of those should suffise without another wherefore, it is
necessary that they be together. wherefore Solomon ordeyned that all
were one boke as it ought to be, & as it [130r] ought to be read &
wrought & he ordeyned much better then philosophers had ordeyned

& he taught how a man ought to doe his worke by it. And he put
euerych treatise by it self, & euery chapter by it selfe, ordeyned all till
to the end of the booke. And put in this booke Semaforas yt is the
booke of 17 vertues, how it [ought] to be written & of which ynk & in
what parchmyn, & with what penne & what man & in which tyme &
in what day & in what night & in what houre, after that Solomon had
expounded in the booke of Razielis. And how it ought to be kept
cleanly & with great honour. Dixit Salomon Qui videt & non cognoscit
&c. Salomon said, who that seeth & knoweth not is as he that is borne
blind & knoweth not colours, who that heareth & understandeth not is
such as a deafe man who that speaketh & cannot expoune the reason is
as a dumb man. who that considereth & knoweth not the consideration
is such as a drunken man. who that readeth plaine books, &
understandeth not is as he that dreameth. These proverbs Salomon said
that a man beware well in this booke. Salomon said in this booke hit
(?) that Raziel the Angel said to Adam that was the first man in this
world And after that Moyses said to other prophetes in sothnesse
[=truth] & we trowith so.13

[Of parchment or vellum]

Dixit Angelus Salomoni, vt omnes prophet tue operationes

&c. The Angell said to Solomon that all thy workings & peticions &
wills be fullfilled & it shall be made in all it that those shall couvite,
that it be in thy might. It behoueth yu that when thou haste this booke 14. K: 'Samatyne,' with 'sattin'

of this or another examplar or ensample that those write it in such
manner in virgin parchmyn, & that it be not filthy neither of a dead

virgin or of a fawne virgin & this is better then any of the other.

so by 3 dayes well couerd in a sure place. And know thou that with
this inke thou shalt write all the holy names of God & of his Angells &
of his Saints & all thing in which his holy greate name is nempned19
or written, and all things that thou will werk (?) truly to be fullfilled
with thy well pleasing or with thy seruice & what euer thou putteth in
thy inke be it newe & bright & pure & good.

[Of the pen]

And the Pen with which thou shalt write the holy name be it of greene
reade gathered early ere the Sun arise & he that shall gather it he be
cleane & washen in runnynge water or in a quicke well & he be
clothed with cleane cloathes. And the Moone be it waxing with [130v]
Capite Draconis, or with Joue, for that they be true & very.

And when thou shalt gather it, thou shalt behold or looke toward the
Easte & thou shalt say thus.

Adonay el Saday Iuvate me ad complendum voluntates

meas cum arundine ista.

That is to say,

[Adonay, El, Saday,] help ye me to fulfill my

wille with this Reade.

and when this is said thou shalt cutt one reade or tweyne or as many as
thou wilt with one stroke. And as Moyses said the knife be it well
playne & sharpe & hool [whole] as though we should cut of a necke
with it. And then take the Reade with thy cleane hands &; make thou
of it gobbets. And when thou wolte cutt the penne, cut hit er that the

thou shalt be bathed in cleane water & thou shalt be rather cleane by 9 23. K: Semiforax.
dayes & cloth thou (?) thee with cleane cloths. And ordeyne to thee an
house or a cleane place made cleane well with beesomes21 & washen 24. K: day.
& watered & suffumed. And ordeyne so that when thou writest hold
thou thy fast (?)22 toward the East. And write then from morro till to
midday till that thou eate. And after that thou hast eaten or drunken
thou shalt not write in it any thing. And if thou wilt write sem~23 with
his strengths the number of the moone be it euen, & most in the day of

the Moone or of Mercury, or of Jovis, or Veneris [Venus]. And be thou

ware of Saturne, & of Sole upon all. And Salomon said if thou puttest
in the ynke of the bloode of a vowter or of a Turtur [turtle or turtle-
dove], or of a gander holly or all white the ynke shallbe much the
better, & with the more vertue. Also I say that if there were of Saphire
poudered & Smaragdo & Jagunua & Topazio the Inke shall be
complete & fullfilled. And with this Inke & with this penne ought to
be written all the names of Sem~. And know thou that he that shall
write this booke ought to be cleane & fasting & bathed & suffumed
with precious aromatikes, that is with spices well smelling. And it
shall be great profitt to thee & to him that maketh it or writeth it. And
ech man that hath written this booke or hath holden in his house
euermore hold he god in mynde & his holy angells & hit for which he
hath made it, & he be euermore suffumed. And glorify he god
euermore. And put he his minde in wch tymes of the iiij times of the
yeare24 he shall worke, or of the iiij tymes of the moneth or of the iiij
times of the day with his night, or of the iiij times of an houre. And
euermore put he his mind to his foure tymes which they ought to be as
invenies in libro p'p'harum.

Dixit Salomon. Sicut si esset Castrum &c Salomon said as

though there were a Castell full strong & his hightnes full great & high
& enhaunced & well on eich side with walles [131r] environed & the
gates in one place well strong & stable or ferme & with keys closed,
therefore it behoveth that who that would open the gates of that close,
& holsomly would enter into it, both with out traueill of gift, &
without brusing of his body. It is necessary to haue the same keyes &
none other of this Castill & of his gates & of his Closings. Thus I say
this that is for to know the starrs & their names & their figures & their
natures. And when they should be good, & when they should be evill.

honour. And who that hath it & can read it, ne read he it not, but if he
were before of full cleane of body & with great witte. And I make
every man to know or wite that he ought not to worke by this booke in
vein, neither without witte, neither without lawe or reason, & this is
when every man doth to the contrary or when any reptiles or wode
beasts should lett thee or do harmes to thee. And to know thou that
although thou haue might & trust for to worke by this booke. And
allthough thou might haue great trust in this, thou shalt not worke but
with great right or law & with much reason. And thus understand thou
of all thy contrarie And if thou workest otherwise by this booke then
thou shouldest, thou mightest much lett thee, that is if thou workest

without reason, & if thou were uncleane, or euill in thy selfe.

Clauis istius libris est cognoscere & scire locu &c. The key of this
booke is to know & wite the places of the 7 bodies aboue & their
natures, & their sciences & their domes, & all their vertues after that it
appeareth in the earth to us.
Formata debet esse omnis figura cum exo vero, &c. Eich figure
ought to be formed with very & true ensample.

Therefore I put the figure of the keye in this booke that no man
trowe28, that without reason & profitt it be made. & I put in figure one
key with the skafte to the similitude or likenes that there is one soleyn 28. trowe: suppose.
Lord & god which neuer had neither shall haue any even or like to
him. In the quadrature or that that [sic] is 4 cornered is signified that
there be fower Elements & no more.
And in this key is one triangle, which signifieth knowing might & will
for without these three may not any man do any thing in this world,
neither attayne to any profitt. And Salomon said that the shafte of this
key is as Raziel said to Adam vnite or one head. And the quadrate is as
4 virtues, that be in hearbs & wordes & beasts. And they be to the
similitude of Elements which openeth & doth all. And the 7 wardes be
7 Angells which have might in the 7 heavens & in the 7 days of the
weeke as furthermore I shall teach you. And the triangle signifieth
man which is in body & soule & spirite. And these above said ledeth
together all the world as it was compownded in highnes & in
lownesse.
Postquam huivsqe diximus oportet nos dicere, &c. After that
we haue said hitherto it behoueth us to say for this booke that is said of
the key of the 7 bretherne. And these 7 bretherne haue among themself
12. remes29 for to deuide or departe. And in eich reme beth xxx cities.

remes of germaynes. And they be said signes. And he beginneth to
make distinction.

And he gaue to the fighter that is Mars, that he should rest & should
not fight in the reme of the signe of Arietis. And of this vertue he is in
the reme of the East. And he gaue him in the reme of the world the
signe of Scorpionis, that he should fight strongly & that he should

And afterward he gaue to the faire Noge .2. veneri twey remes of the

Another is the 7th from the first that is Libra and otherwhile venus is

another for this that he should neuer be ouercomen in the signe of the
Reme well meridionall or south & he is one beast with one horne in
his fronte. And the signe of that other Reme is as a man that heldeth
out many waters & this broder is said the old Sabaday. And than taketh
that other brother for heritage on his right side the Reme with the signe
of half a man & of halfe an horse & it is said Sagittarius & on the left
side of Piscium. Know ye heere the natures of Signes. And Salomon
said, Aries is a Signe very hott & drie colericke & so is Leo &
Sagittarius & they haue might in the East. Taurus is earthy cold & drie
melancolious & so Virgo & [132r] Capricornus & they haue might in
the South. Gemini is very hott & moyst & sanguine & so libra &
Aquarius & they haue might in the west. Cancer is watry feminine
moist and phligmaticke & so Scorpio & Pisces & they haue might in
the North.

Iam diximus de naturis & signis, & eorum complexionibus &c. Now
we hau said of natures & signes & of the Complexions of them. And
then say we of the nature & of the Complexions of germaynes & what
they signifieth. The first heigher that is said the old, Sabaday is
Saturnus the Nature of which is cold & dry for that it is much straite &
melancholiouse & it signifieth fathers, & wrath & discord in lands.
The second is said zedek, & he is temperate for that he is betwixt the
old Sabaday & the hott Madin, & Zadek is hott & moist sanguine in
fauour sweet, & it draweth a good ayre & it signifieth good and
honour & vertu.

The third is the fighter madyn & he is hott & dry euell & lesser &
brenner, rauisher & lyer. The ferth is haminu [or hamina] 2. Sol,
middle among other hole (?) & mighty & worll. & all the other
brethren shameth & dreadeth him & he is much soth faste & stronngr.

Salomon said as there were euermore states aboue without corruption

the same point with Sole direct & not retrograde make we sutill things

he geueth unto us. And as oft as Saturne were in Libra so many

Saturne in an Earthen signe so many diuerse mutations or chaungings

Hermes saith, That there are seven

Postquam diximus de 12 figuris [*signes] &

in ascendence it is nempned coniunctio. And how much the Latitude
or bridth shall be lesse so much the coniunction is said stronger & if
there is more latitude the coniunction is febler & so I say to thee in the

beholdings & no mo duo tertii duo 4ti and duo sextiles, & unus
oppositus, that is to sey, tweyne42 in the third, tweyne in the fourth &
tweyne in the sixt & one contrary as against. The coniunction is
complete when they be in one degree. Double coniunction of twey
good or temperate sheweth double good. As twey euill by the contrary
sheweth much euill. Twey sextiles beholdinge the ascendent auaileth
one good of terno. And twey terni auaileth in beholding the ascendent,
one good fortune in the ascendent. And twey quarti in beholding the
ascendent auayleth one greiuous or heavy, if there were euill sters.
And twey opposita auaileth one in fortunate in the ascendent or in the
oppo~ita. And twey quarti auaileth as much as a starr falling or
combust or retrograde that is letted in the ascendent, one fortune or
tweyne in the ascendent and another of sextili, & another of terni
beholdinge the ascendent sheweth much good hasty or highing. Twey
evill in the ascendent or one with another in opposito that is in the
contrary or of falling they shew a greiuous & long impediment. And if
they be falling & letted it shall be wors, one fortunate in ascendent
beholden of twey ternis it sheweth much good, & how much there
were mo wittnesses upon the figure of which thou enquirest or seekest,
or of which thou workest so much it shall be the better. And if three
planets beholding the ascendent with good beholding & twey euill, the
good ouer the euill & so of other. One infortune & in hascendent
beholden of twey quartis sheweth much griefe. Caput draconis is
much better then cauda. Ech Planet in his head of the same degree
more Lordshippeth in the figure for that it is twey in latitude to the
weye of the Sunne & it profitteth [133v] in going toward the party of
the north. Ech planet in the tayle of the dragon is ministring of his
worke that goeth toward the South.

Luna coniunct or ioyned with Saturnu & Marte in the ascendent it

constrayneth & thristeth43 diuells. Saturnus maketh in deuills strenght
& great power. Luna coniunct or ioyned with Joue [Jupiter] & Venere
[Venus] in ascendent it sheweth great dilection & great loue in eich
good thing. Luna ioyned with Martis & Saturno in th [sic] ascendent it
sheweth impediment but if the planet were of good receiueying. Luna
ioyned with Sole in one point [sheweth] greate grace & that if they
were good. Luna ioyned in falling (?) & to Mercury in the asce3ndent 43. thristeth: throws.
it sheweth the contrary. Luna in ascendent by it selfe signifieth after

that the planet to which it is ioyned. Luna with Capite Draconis in the or try worke"

When caput Draconis Lune were with capite Saturni, & there were
Luna or Saturne & there is worke of celsan made it signifieth upon

these twey coniunct or ioyned in th ascendent it sheweth much good &

encreasing of good & of honour. And if it were in cauda not only
when there were twey Cauda Draconis that is of Lune & of other they
be full euill when luna were with them. When Caput draconis Lune
were with capite draconis Martis, & Luna & mars in thilke point it
sheweth strength & might. And if Cauda with Cauda & Luna & Mars
together it is full greivous & euill. after yt euerych is euill after the
place or beholding of another. Caput draconis & Luna in Capite
Arietis Luna Sol in Zamni sheweth great might & great honour. And
by the contrary in Libra beneth with cauda draconis. Caput draconis
with capite veneris sheweth much loue & in cauda the contrary. Caput
draconis mercurii with capite draconis Lune sheweth worke of reason
& of voic & of many sownes [sounds]. And in cauda Lune with
Mercury & Saturno it sheweth us the beholdinge of many
experiments. Lune in capite sui draconis sheweth & if there were
Jupiter or venus it shall do the worke of Jouis or of Veneris & it shall
profitt in all good as these be good. Luna if it be in cauda sui draconis
& Mars & Saturne with hit or they beholdeth it with euill beholding
sheweth as euill as we haue said of Saturnus & Marte. And we haue
said that Saturne norisheth diuills & Mars draweth & thresteth &
figureth them. And Saturnus gathereth together many deuills; Venus &
Saturnus gathereth togeher diuills & winds from beneth. A good starre
in the ascendent & luna ioyned with a good starr [134r] sheweth much
good: and the begining in all hit in which were dn~s quarte that is the
end Lord of the 4th And if the 4th house is well beholden of good all
the end of the thing (?) shall be good when the lord of the forth house
were euill & euill treated it sheweth noyi & euill. A signe ascendent
sheweth the body. The Lord of the Ascendent or the planet that is in
the ascendent or which beholdeth it sheweth it his spirit. And the Lord
of the houre signifieth his soule & his will. And thus understand thou
in other domes the body & the soule & the spirit, ffor these 3 know
thou that they make the body of a man safe & hoole.

Nota de exaltationibus. Know thou of exaltacions.

Dixit Hermes Saturnus exaltatur in Libra &c.

Hermes said Saturnus is anhaunced in libra. And Jupiter in
Cancro. And Mars in Capricorno. And Sol in Ariete. And Venus in

2. The 6. ove vertue. And euermore consider you in all things that thou
shallt do upon the planetts how it shall be in the 12 house, & thou shall
profitt if thou chesest [choosest] wel. And Salomon said. Ech man
that worketh by this booke it behoueth that he know all these thinges,
that is reasons, which here I wyl not expowne to thee that is that thou
know in which tyme thou were [born] of the 4 tymes of the yeare. And
in which month of the months of Lune. And begin you from the
Lunacion of the month of Mercury where euer Luna prima were. And
all secret or priuity be yt axed in Saturno with aall deepnes. And all
honour & substance be it asked upon Joue. And all strife & battell &
hastinge of Marte. And all cleauenesse & lordshippe of Sole. And all
fairenes & dilections or loves & fattnesses of venere. And all reasons
& witts & subtilltyes of Mercurio. And all changing & fortune of
Luna. And of these 7 thou shalt aske euermore councels where thou
findest them in their houses & signes. And all as they should show to
thee deme thou upon them in all good & euill.

Now we hau fullfilled here with the helpe of God the Treatise that is
said Liber Clauis, that is the booke of the key.

Here endeth the first booke &

Liber Secundus
Dixit Salomon sicut alæ auium sunt membra
&c. Salomon said As the wings of fowles or birds be
members that leadeth the foules to the place where they desire to be,
so by vertue of stones & of herbs & of beasts that liueth in flying &
swimming, in going, in creeping thou might attayne to thee that that
the wolt, yf thou chesest the natures of them, the properties & vertues.
And therefore wee clepeth this booke Alæ, that is wings for without
wings nether fowles neither fishes mought moue themself. And so as
wings beareth bodies toi highnes upward & to fundaments downwards
& into longitude & latitude that is in to length & bredth. So by the
vertues of Stones & of herbs with grace & with much might of
Sem~ [Semiforas] know thou that thou might attayne yt thou
couetest to do as to heale & make sicke or stand or go.

Dixit Salomon sicut Lapides sunt mundiores &c. Salomon

said as stones be cleaner & fayrer then gold & in 4 vertues of this
world as be stones, herbs, wordes & beastes. I say that in the
beginning of this booke [Cepher] Raziel that was crowned with 7
stones of great power, & he put them in his booke. The first is Rubinus
[ruby]. 2. carbunculus. The second Smaragdus [emerald]. The third
Saphirus. The 4 berillus. the 5 Topazius. The 6 Jaguncia. the 7
Adamas. And of the vertues of these stones Raziel hath spoken & said
that they were crowned of 7 Angells which hau might on the 7
heauens. & of the 7 dayes of the weeke.
And Raziel said know eich man that hath this booke, that in this
booke be the more vertues of this world. And the first vertues of this
booke that is said of 4 wings be the vertues of stones. Wherefore know
thou that by stones alone thou might doe wonderfull things, if thou
hast well knowen as thou shouldest do with all other Images. If thou
keep them cleanly & reuerently.

De Prima Ala.

Et dixit Salomon. Scias quod in prima ala sunt

&c. And Solomon said know thou that in the first ala or
wing be 24 precious stones great & of great power to similitude, &
signification that there be 24 houres in the day & night. Salomon
began & said. I put or set the first stone Carbuncum, 2. rubinum, For
that it is brighter & clearer & fairer & of more price aboue all other
stones. And I woll say of his colour & his power & his vertue, & of his
seale & of his figure that ought to be in it. And thus I shall say in all
other stones. Ech stone signifieth durability or lastingnes without end.
The colour of Rubin is as the colour of fire sparckling. And his power
is that he shyneth by night as starr or as a flame of fire sparklinge. And
the vertue of it is that it maketh good colour of men that beareth it
reuerently. And it encreaseth his good of this world among other men.

[136v]

Dixit Salomon sicut aius corpus volare non pt &c. Salomon

said as the body of a fowle ne may not fly without wing neither go
wither he coueteth. So by science of one thing alone we mought not
fullfill that wee desire. And for this we putte the second Key in this
booke. And we say ne if [it?] the second, for that it maketh the second
openinge. ffor as this world is closed with 4 elements: so this booke is
closed with [i.e. encompassed by] 4 sciences & 4 vertues. And now we
haue said of stones, now say we of herbes. Know thou that in herbs is
vertue of the most that may be. And some of naturalls of this world
beth yt liueth of them as they that haue reason. And some that flieth &
some which swymmeth, & wch goeth & which crepeth. And know
thou that of trees & herbs some liueth much & some middle & some
litle & that is to the similitude of beasts. Know thou that among herbs
there be some with which thou may do good & euill. As to heale &
make sicke. And so understand thou in these that shall be said
furthermore. And Adam said by a tree came wretchednes into the
world that is by the tree I sinned in it. And Raziel said, An herbe shall
be thy life. And Salomon said, A tree shall be & shall wexe of which
the leaues shall not fall. And it shall be medicyne of men.

The second wing is to the similitude of 24 houres, & of 24 stones.

other. And it wexeth middlly. And with this thou shalt clepe windes &
all spiritts that thou wilt & thou shalt profitt. The third herbe is
Canabus [cannabis] & it is long in shafte & clothes be made of it. The
vertue of the Juse [juice] of it is to anoynt thee with it & with the iuce
of arthemesy & ordyne thee before a mirrour of stele [steel] & clepe
thou spiritts & thou shallt see them & thou shalt haue might of binding

The 13 herbe is that is said sta~ & this is middle in lenght & hath little

makest with these an oyntement with the eyne of a whelp & with the
fattnes of an heart [hart], thou might go surely whither thou wilt in one
houre.

The 15 herbe is maiorana this keepeth an house by it selfe &

defendeth from euill infirmities. And Hermes said that genciana &
veleriana [valerian] & maiorana [marjoram] availeth much upon great
honour of princes & of great men.

The 16 herb is Draguncia. This is of great power & the highnesse of

the roote of it ioyned with the tung of Colubri which is lett quicke.
And the herbe be gathered when Sol is in the first degree of Cancri
[Cancer], & Luna beholdeth mercur~ or is in the house of mercur~, or

trifolio & Saluia, peruca, edera & arthemesia with ysopo58 be ioyned
& gathered together crescente Luna die Jouis that is to say in the
waxinge of the moone in the day of Jouis [Jupiter] in the morrow

The 18 herbe is linu~ suffumigation of the seed of this with See OP1.43: "So they say that
fumes made with Lin-seed

prophecying." A more elaborate
method can be found in Muzzi's
edition of Grimorium Verum.
The 19 herb is saluia [salvia]. This is of great vertue & the long leafe
of it as lingue Agni & sharpe. this breaketh or disperseth euill shades
& euill spiritts from the place where it is. And it is good for to beare
with him: for it holdeth a man hool, but a sicke man hold he it not with
him.

The 20 herbe is Samina [138r] [Sanina]. And so~men sayn that it is a

tree. this is a tree of loue & dilection, who that can chese it. And if this
with somewhat of croci & with Lingua Colubri be borne with him in a
ring of gold and somewhat of pvi*ca [provinca] surely go thou before
the king or before whomeuer thou wilt, & most if thou put with it the
stone that is said Topazius or yf thou wilt Berillum. And if this ring
were made when Luna is ioyned to Jovis in trino from Sole it is much
the better. And it is said Annulus Solis that is the ring of the Sunne &
it is of health & against infirmities & it is of grace & vertue & of
honor.

The 21 herb is Nasturcium. This holdeth the members hole & there
were with it Origanum & Pulegium & arzolla & be borne together
with thee & thou eatest of them, thou shalt be hool wthin & without.
And so if thou anoyntest thee with them and were suffumed with
marrubio, albofor, & reubarbaro, & herba thuris it shall defend of
many infirmities.

The 22 is an herb that it said Canna ferula. this is full dreadfull &
greivous, & strong in worke. And if thou takest the iuce of it, & the
iuice of cicute & ms~qim & Japsi barbati, & sandalum rubeñ &
puprrm nigrum with this confection made fume thou what thou wilt,
that thou see deuills and things & strang figures. And if Apm~ were
with this know thou that from eich place suffumed deuills should flye,
& if thou wilt thou might destroy euill spiritts. This suffumigation is
full euill & dreadfull. for the fume of it & the worke ouercometh in
malice & worketh most euill. And more strongly if Luna were with
Saturno or in oppositio with Marte, that is in opposition of Martis.

The 23 herb is calamintum & it is likened to n~ite [? K: mynte] & it is

of great vertue in good suffumigacions, & if there is with it on~ta [? K:
menta] & palma xpi~ z Pionia. These be holden taketh away euill
winds and spirits from a place & euermore it is against fantasies.

The 24 herb is Cicoreya. This is full good in all exorcisms & if it be

ioyned with eri~go & pentafilon & ypericon & vrtica & verbena, and
all be together & be borne at the necke & under the feete & be there
the herb of 7 knotts & of 7 leaues z martagon & lilium domesticum &

axing & my will & they should fullfill it to thee. And these be the
more names of the more 9 angells abouesaid. And know thou them &
keepe them. And som~en sayn that they be the 9 orders of angells.

Heere endeth the 24 reasons upon the vertues of herbs of the [138v]
second wing. And these experiments were now written in party in
Raziele, although Salomon put to of this there, & of the Saiues of
Hermetis. And the herbs be put in the booke of Razielis for that with
them we may be excused & worke with herbs as with Sem~ with
fasting & words in good & euill. And [let] no man Joyne himself to
Semiforas till he know himself in the first wing & in the second. And
thus we shall say all thing that shall be to us necessary with the help of
god.

De tertia Ala. [The third wing.]

Dixit Salomon super Alam tertiam sicut Corpus Solis &c.

Salomon said upon the third wing as the body of the Sunne is more
appearing & mighty upon all other bodies & brighter, & fairer &
clearer. So the vertues of sensible beasts wch feeleth [K: flyeth] and
sendeth out voice, & seeth. And so beasts of the third wing haue
power upon the twey first wings of stones & of herbs & he put
therefore in this Raziel 24 beasts with their names, & vertues & states.
And the figures be 24 distincte & departed a twyne. And I will put
upon eich element 6 beasts euerich distinct from other & euerich of his
kynde. And as the fier is the high lord & distinct from the 4 Elements.
And the life of them all is purer and cleaner among them, therefore I
beginne to say upon the beasts of fire, for as eich of the 4 Elements
hath his beast beneath, so the fire hath his aboue pure & cleane
without corruption. And this fier that is aboue is not expounded of
wexe & trees neither oyle, neither with other composition, but it is
simple. And the things that liueth in it be the angels cleare & clean &
bright like to the beames of the Sunne & like to the flame of the fire,
or of a sparck of fire, or of a starre or of the Colour of Quickesiluer or
of pure gold. And this similitude is naturall in the beasts of the fire, &
the figures of them bene seeme such as the lighteninge in similitude &
in deed. For as an Orison is a Messager to the Creator, so they be
ready anon to good & euill & they seyn like things of prophetes that
upon the 4 Elements be heauens with their beasts of which wee should
say furthermore.

The second spirit is much cleane, but derker then the ou~ & it is
likened to the winde. And his figure after that he will take & after

25 of 54 8/1/19, 8:28 PM
Sepher Raziel, Liber Salomonis (Sl. 3846) http://www.esotericarchives.com/raziel/raziel.ht...

some of the 4 Elements to which he is ioyned, & he formeth himselfe

in this manner either by water or by a cloude or by moystnes or by
thicknes of some darkenes or he receaueth some body as fume of some
kynde by falling in it either by vois or by sleep [K: shape] of a beast
elemented by these he taketh forme after that the nature aboue
disposeth.

The third beast of which wisemen seyne is that euermore he

fellowshippeth [139r] spirit & most the corpulent & thicke of the spirit.
And therefore his figure is found by night in places of drede & it is
heard & seene & that ofte tyme. And the Colour of it is like to tp~i z
after the nature of houre, ere it is made, otherwhile to the similitude of
the body of which it went out. Wherefore sommen seeth otherwhile
the soules of bodies in church yards hayes. And of these souls said the
wise Hermes & the prophet that the soule that goeth out & hath might
is not neither was but a man or woman, & upon such manner soules
speaketh wisemen & clepest them spirituall & heauenly, spirituall for
goodnes, heauenly for simplenes.

The fourth beast is the winde. Eich day we hearen but we seen not
although we seen other, & hearen not. And the works of the winde be
seene to the eye after the party from which it cometh. And he hath
such nature that if he is orientall or meridionall, that is East or South,
he is hote. And if he is occidentall or septentrionall that is West or
north he is cold. This we seene to haue greate power for it beareth
clouds & waters, & tempests & haules [K: gayles]. And it stirreth the
Sea, & troubleth the Sea & breaketh trees, & this is said quicke ayer,
as the fire aboue is said quicke fire & simple. And therefore the
Elements be said double or twey fold, that is to say fixe & moveable.
Moueable it is that it dwelleth in the corners of the Earth althoug it
descend from aboue. ffor the 7 aboue bindeth & looseth it for of them
it descendeth & it was formed of them & this is a great saeg' [? K:
figure] in sea, in ayre, & in land as it cometh temperate.

The 5 beast or vision is a fantasie that is a shade to the similitude of

diuers colours or manners compownd of diuerse together. And this
forme is made in desert place or in a corrupt ayre. Or other while it
descendeth from hills to the similitude or likenes of knights & they be
sayd Exercitus antiquus that is an olde ofte [*host or army]. And
otherwhile upon waters to the similitude of faire women & well
clothed, or in meades, & some sayne that they be faces. And
otherwhile this befalleth in a man of corruption or malice of
complexions & of humours that be in a man, & they be said demonaici
for that it ascendeth the head & falleth upon the eyne, & such
corruption maketh to see many fantasies.

The 6 beast is said Demon. This descendeth in highnes to lownes & he

26 of 54 8/1/19, 8:28 PM
Sepher Raziel, Liber Salomonis (Sl. 3846) http://www.esotericarchives.com/raziel/raziel.ht...

was formed of pure matter without corruption. Wherefore he faileth

not but shall euermore endure although he haue taken thicknes in
darknes of the lownesse of the Earth & he is pure in matter and strong
in body. And of this saith the wiseman that he knoweth all things that
is. And by him Philosophers haue answeres & wisemen of all things,
of which they will know the sothnes. And he dwelleth euermore in
darkenesse & in obscurity & he is neuer seuered from them. And of
this sayth the Prophet that he hath power of takeing forme or shape
wch he woll in the Earth after the will of the Creator. And he is said a
bright angell mighty & faire as the forme of the sonne & of the moone
& of a starre or of an angell or of a cloud or of a fowle or of a fish or
of a man, or of a beast or of a reptile that is a creepeing beast or any
other forme which he wold. And all these aboue said without them
know thou that they be impalpable, or unable to be feled that is that
they may not be taken with hand neither be touched with fote for they
be spiritts or windes. [139v] And know thou that euerich of the
abouesaid when it befalleth in any of the Elements he taketh a body of
them although the life of them be of the fire & the dwelling of them be
in the fire & their deeds fuyry, for they be fuyry. And Raziel said upon
these 6 that invocation of them & appearing & constrayning & binding
& loosing also to do good or euill by them, All is made with cleanesse
[therefore] who that would clepe them or haue the seruice of them &
with Orison and fasting & fumigation, & with praysing of god as thou
shalt here furthermore.

Animalia æris tertiæ alæ vocantur aues &c. Beasts of the ayre
of the third wing be cleped souls, for that they flyeth & they be of 4
menynge. One is said runnyng. Another flying, & swimminge &
going or creeping. Now say we of flying. And begynne we first of
Aquila that is an Egle [eagle], for that he is a fowle flyinge much in
height. And he hath Lordship upon all other fowles. The Eagle hath
such a nature that he taketh his sonns or birds when they be little. And
ascendeth them into a place when the Sunne is high. And then he
drepeth the face of them to the Sunne & if they behold strongly the
Sunn he deemeth them to be his sons & good. And if they behold not,
he deemeth to be not his and euill & letteth them fall & dye. And a
feather of him freteth another fether. And he seeth farre by one league
or mile a little beast. A great beast sothly he seeth by 9 leagues or by a
days Journey. The eye of him with the heart haue great vertue & grace
to a lord king or to a lord of a land, for that giueth to him grace in his
reame.

The second fowle is said Vultur that is a Vowter [vulture]. This hath
great vertue in all his members. The head of him helpeth against all
dreames & against craft of Magicke. And the feete helpe against
malefetes. And if an house be suffumed with 9 fethers of him it putteth

27 of 54 8/1/19, 8:28 PM
Sepher Raziel, Liber Salomonis (Sl. 3846) http://www.esotericarchives.com/raziel/raziel.ht...

out from it euill spiritts. The gall of him helpeth the eyne better then
any thing of the world. Th' eyen of him put in the skinne of a serpent,
& the tong of him in a cloth of silke red wlapped [sic wrapped] with
them, helpeth in causes in which thou couitest to ouercome & for to
wynne the loue of another lord. The wings of him put upon a bed
defendeth a man sleeping from euill winds & from all greevance &
from euill spiritts, neither may they may lett in all the house, neither
any fantasies haue power nether other things.

The third fowle is Falco, that is a Falcon of whom the vertue is that of
great Lords he is sett att much price. The boon of the highnes of the
right wing ouercometh plees both in rauishing and in takeing away
alien thing. and the heighnes of the left wing taketh away euill feuers.
But we ought not to slea venatiue foules neither [140r] hounds although
they haue many vertues in themselues. And know thou that how many
members be in euery beast, foule, fish or reptile, so many vertues
distincte hath euery member by himself.

The 4 foule is a turtur1 simple & good. netheles if thou takest the male
& the female together in a new potte with croco & provinca & cicorea
gathered together upon them which thou wolt ioyne together if thou
casteth the pouder of these upon them know thou that anon they shall 1. Turtur: turtledove.
be ioyned together. And it giueth great loue [love] to him that beareth
the pouders with them.

The 5 foule is said Vpupa, that is a lapwing haueing a creast of fethers

in the head as a cocke. And he hath many vertues. This hath one boon
in his wings & it gathereth together deuills & spiritts of the ayer. The
property of him is that who euer taketh the hearte of him & wlappeth
[wrappeth] it in hony, And then assoone as he may swallow it, &
drinketh the milke of a white or red or a black cowe, know thou that it
maketh a man to say things to come. And he hath another vertue for
who yt cutteth of the necke where a cocke croweth not neither may be
heard, neither the voice of an hound, neither [where] wheate is sowen
there & when he cutteth of his necke inclepe the deuills & then bear he
with him the halfen deale of the blood. And of that other halfen deale
anoynt he himselfe, euermore shall go with him one of the deuills that
is to witte, he whom he can inclepe which shall say many things to
him.

The 6 foule is said Ciconia1 that is an haysoule, who that sleath him in
the day of Lune & taketh the blood of the heart of him & anoynteth
himself with it & eateth the flesh with se~re feni~l & with cardamomo
1. Crane or stork.
& gariofilo, & ere he eate it suffume he himself with good odours as
with thure mastic & cinamom & other such know thou yt he shall haue
grace of enchanting which he wolle & of coniuring & constrayning the

Sepher Raziel, Liber Salomonis (Sl. 3846) http://www.esotericarchives.com/raziel/raziel.ht...

spiritts of the ayer & other spiritts that goe upon riuers & wells.

These 6 foules abouesaid be an ensample upon all other. And when

thou wilt know the vertue of any foule, do thou after the precept of this
booke, Raziel, upon the booke of visions of Angells upon the
begininge of tymes in the 12 months as thou shalt see furthermore.

Dicamus de piscibus marinus & aliis &c. Say we of fishes of

the sea & other upon vi of them that is to witt of the more & middle
that I should shew the vertues of them.

The first fish is Balena [whale], the fattnes of which made liquid kept
7 yeares or more, for how much it is elder so much it is better. It
healeth a man from eich gout & euill wind if he anoynt himself with it,
if he anoynt the head with the blood of him it helpeth him much &
yeeldeth him strong & more hoole. And it maketh to see verrt visions.
The sperma of him is said Ambra. If thou suffumest tombes with this it 1. Agrippa quotes this in OP1.43.
gathereth the spiritts aboue downward. And of eich petition or axinge
it maketh to giue answer. And Hermes said there is not such
suffumigacions for to inclepe Spirits as Ambra & lignum aloes, costus,
mustus, crocus & bloud of a lapwinge with thimiamate.1 These be
meate & drinke & gladnes of spirits of the ayre. And these gathereth
them together strongly & full sone. And wise men say that the sperme
& blood [140v] & the heart of a baleyne be principalls for to command
the winds & spiritts who that maketh fumigations of them.

The second fish is said Delphin [dolphin]. And he is the knight of the
sea. And as the Eagle hath might among foules, & the lion among
beast in this manner hath the delphin in the Sea. Who that annoynteth
of the bloode of him, the cloathes of twey freinds it maketh them
enemyes or casteth the dry blood upon them. And who that beareth the
heart of him maketh him hardy.

The third fish is Cancer. this hath 6 feet, take & brenne him in panno
livido & with the powders frote the teeth sofhlie it healeth them &
yeeldeth them faire & cureth the Cancre in the mouth, if thou casteth it
upon the fire wth somewhat of Stercosis humani combusti it gathereth
together spirits.

The 4 fish is bright as an horne betwixt palenesse & whitenesse z

piscis claudims or Cepia. This fish hath many properties, & this
enchanters & prophetts knoweth well which made with this their
enchantments & their transfigurations. So that when they would that
an house should seeme full of water, or that a riuer should enter by the
gate, they tooke this fish & with thimiamati & ligno aloes & rosis &
they fumiden an house & they cast there of the water of the Sea. And it

29 of 54 8/1/19, 8:28 PM
Sepher Raziel, Liber Salomonis (Sl. 3846) http://www.esotericarchives.com/raziel/raziel.ht...

seemed that the house were filled with water, & if he cast their blood it
seemed bloud, & so if he cast Snow. And when they would that the
earth should seme to quake then they cast there of the Earth of a plow.
And they made there diuerse similitudes in all things after the thing
which they put in the fumigation. And know thou that it dureth so
much as the fumigacion in the house, & with the gall of him also they
made many enchantments, for that this beast is much unlike to other.

The 5 fish is Murena [eel], & he is lentiguromus (?) the vertue of this
is that enchanters beareth the powder of him with them for to make
enchantments.

The 6 fish is rana viridis, & if thou take it upon what woman thou wilt
and namest the names of the angels of the month in which thou were
[K adds: borne as I thinke] which be furthermore within in libro
visionum you might do good & euill of what woman you wilt.

And know thou yt if these fishes & all other thou may know the
vertues & properties all by the booke of visuions of moneths. And so
understand you by like thing in all other things.

Primum animal est Leo. Ista bestia est valde fortis & The first
beast is a Lyon [lion]. This beast is full strong in the breast & in the
cheekes & he is of strong beholding or lookeing so that when other
beasts seeth him they be moued togither with dread. And the skyne of
him is of such vertue that if it be put with other skynes it destroyeth
them & maketh [them] bare. & who that taketh the biting toothe of
him that is cleped dens caninus & putteth it in gold it is good to take
away & to take alien things. And the same doth a woolues [141r] tooth.
& if thou maketh a purse of the heart of a lion full of blood musco &
almea, & ligno aloes & thimiamate, & it were gadered upon whom
thou wilt & thou maketh hote, know thou that in that houre he shall
love thee much & doe thy bidding. And if thou inclepest with the
blood of a goat the prince of deuills he shall be ready anon to do thy
maundement. And so more kinga or he for whom thou dost. And the
same I say of great women.

The second beast is Elephans that is an Elephant & he is full great &
when he is risen of herd he lieth, & when he falleth of herd he riseth
for that therto he hath not knees disposed well. And the boone of the
teeth of him is said Ebur that is Evory [ivory]. And if it be put in
lectuaries it comforteth the feeblenes of the heart as much as margarita
or more. And the bloud of him with the liver comforteth much fasting.

The third beast is Ceruus that is an heart [hart] which liueth much, for
that he reneweth as the moone or an Egle. Who that maketh
suffumigacion of the hornes is chaseth away serpents, & by it self it

30 of 54 8/1/19, 8:28 PM
Sepher Raziel, Liber Salomonis (Sl. 3846) http://www.esotericarchives.com/raziel/raziel.ht...

chaseth away deuills.

The 4 beast is Catus, that is a Catt, & he seeth better by night then by
day, & who that taketh of him & of an yrchin & of a reremouse &
maketh of alcofol & alcofolizeth his eyne he seeth well by night & by
day. And if thou puttest <--25v--> there the eyne of an asse thou might
see whether the spiritts & deuills of the ayre go in.

The 5 beast is mustela, that is a wesill, this bringeth forth her issue at
her moneth after Poets not after Philosophers. This helpeth much when
he is brent, & the skinne of him is written for to cause loue betwixt
tweyne.

The 6 beast is Talpa1 that is a wandwarp & dwelleth under the Earth &
is likened to a mouse, with this beast thou may make to come
tempests, pestilences, haules, & lightnings & comstacions & many
euill things, if thou puttest him bare & naked upon the Earth & 1. Mole.
ouerturned, And with this thou may make discord & concord whom
thou wilt, for he is a cursed beast for that he healeth a man of the fester
when he is brent [burnt] & the powder ia incast.

And when thou wilt know the vertue of other beasts, do as it is said in
libro visionum, upon which aske thou this of the lord of vision that is
yt it appeare to the that thou askest, & couetest to know of a beast
which thou wilt. This beast seeth not neither hath eyn. And know thou
that the vision of months is upon all things that thou askest or would
knowe. And God shallbe wth thee if of right thou axe. And know thou
that heere is fulfilled the third wing. And now beginn we the fourth
which is complement & fullfilling upon all the Elements.

[De quarta ala. The fourth wing.]

Dixit Salomon sicut corpus vivum &c. Salomon said as a quicke

body middle or great is not moued with three feete neither any foule
lesse then with 2 wings, neither the world [141v] is gouerned lesse then
with 4 elements. So this booke may not neither ought to be lesse then
with 4 wings which be said 4 vertues. Wherefore Raziel said that who
that shall be filled with this booke shall be as one of the prophets & he
shall understand all vertues of things & powers of them. And if he
understandeth well he shall be a quicke spirit & if he with holdeth (?)
& worketh he shall be as an Angell. And therefore he put in this book
22 Elements of great vertue that is 22 letters or figures which the sons
of Adae that is of Adam mought not excuse.

cleanes & with helpe of the Creator. Now we haue fulfilled this booke
of the wing like to the angells that is Panthaseron Micracon
Sandalon, for euerych of these hath 4 wings by mandement of the
benigne angell, which the Creator sent to me that this book were better
compounded & well ordeyned.

Heere endeth the second booke & beginneth the iii book of
Thymiamatibus.

[142r]

Liber tertius.
Dixit Angelus adæ fac thymiamata &c. The Angell said to
Adam make thymiamata. Thimiamata be confections of good odours
wth which thou shalt suffume & thou shalt please to Creacion & thou
shalt attayne to what thou wilt by this. And they of which they be
made be preciouse things which thou shalt find out of good odour & of
good nature & of cleane things. And when thou shalt do it be thou
cleane of without all filth. And then the Angell rested in that houre.
And Adam remayned & did that he might. And this Salomon
expounded & said, I marvaile why this is the booke of Moysy, also for
the Creator said to Moysy make thou Thymiamata & suffume thou in
the hille1 when thou wilt speake with me. Wherefore Salomon said,
that suffumigacions & sacrifice, & unction maketh to be opened the
gates of the ayre & of the fire & the gates of all other heauens. And by
suffumigacions a man may see heauenly things & priuities of the
Creator. And eich man know that they thirleth [drill] the Earth, water, 1. The hill: Mt. Sinai.
& the lownesses. And Salomon said as there be 7 heauens, & 7 starres,
& 7 dayes in the weeke, of which euerich is distinct & is not likened to
his euen. So know thou eich man that there be 7 suffumigations which
wthholdeth wth them the vertue of the 7 starrs, & maketh apaid [K:
glad] the spirits of the ayre And the Angells of heauens & deuills, of
angells of the world. And therefore for a man yeldeth to them it that is
theirs. Therefore they be pleased & apaide for the words which thou
sayst, when thou prayest or sayst the names of them or the names of
the Creator. And for this that thou dost when thou washest thee & for
the gift that thou giuest to them when thou suffumest. And these things
yeldeth them earthly & appearing to thee. And the spirituall &
invisible that is that neither euill men, neither beasts mought see thee
if thou dost strongly about thee & about whom thou dost.

Thymiamata is made of many things & these be principall upon the 7

dayes of the weeke. And first say we [of] thymiamata of the Saturday
for the starre of him is higher & the Angell of him is mighty in the
Earth.

The first Thymiama [sic] of the Saturday ought to be of all good things
& well smelling rootes as is Costus & herba thuris. And that is
Thymiama of good. And so I shall shew of all other as it beseemeth to

[142v]

Although Salomon made distinction upon the days & planets of the
spices with the which a man ought to make thymiamata. And he said
that of Saturni is eich good roote in good, euill in euill. And of Jouis
all fruite, & of Martis eich tree, & of Solis eich gumme. & of Veneris
eich flower. And of Mercurii each rinde, & of Lune eich leafe. And
thus understand you in all other. & eich odorifr herbe is of Veneris.
And Raziel bade to Adam that he should make good thymiamata &
therefore Hermes understood that eich thymiama is made of all good
things, As of roote, tree, rinde, leafe, flower, fruite & gumm. And yett
seeds be put in it, as bacre & cardamonum & wexe & put thou in it all
good thing & preciouse. And sythen he said Thymiama completum.

And the 24 (?) is some thymiama grecum or of greekes by which

heathen men were wont to suffume idols & yet to day churches &
aulers [K: altars] be suffumed, And it is said Thymiama Jouis & in
sothnes who that useth these thymiamatibus be he cleane & chast & of
all good will to the Creator he shall profitt.

Dixit Salomon super suffumigia hermetis quod dur &c.

Salomon said upon the suffumigations of Hermetis which be said
beneth & they be 7 manners with which be made sacrifices. Some be
made & the first which giueth fastesth & giueth teithings to the
Creator, & therefore they trust that they attayne that they desire & it is
sothe.

The second is that they washen themself & clenseth & dwelleth
cleane. And therefore they trow to attayn their petition & asking & it is
sothe.

The 3 is that they do almes for god & for the holy angells of him.

The 4 is that they sleeth & casteth the blood in the fire.

The 5 is that they sleeth & brenneth all.

The 6 is that they pray much in houers ordayned 7 tymes in the day, &
3 in the night.

The 7 is to make fumigation with good things & well smellinge &
euerych of these did this that he might attayne the sothnes of it that he
axed & [so] he attayned it by the mandement of the Creator.

And know thou that fumigacion ouercometh in all. Sothely who that
suffumeth better to the eye it proneth [? K: proveth] & with this the

36 of 54 8/1/19, 8:28 PM
Sepher Raziel, Liber Salomonis (Sl. 3846) http://www.esotericarchives.com/raziel/raziel.ht...

wise man excuseth all other. And wite thou that who that can well
know the natures of fumigacions he migh neigh to thilke spirits wch he
would inclepe after the nature of fumigacions. And euermore consider
thou the nature of the spirit & of the fumigacion & the spirits be
constrayned by their contrary & be comforted by like things.
Wherefore it is to witt that as a wise leche in giueing a medicine to a
sick man remoueth the sickenes & in ledeth health. So fumigacion
remoueth the contrary from the place if it be good. And with euill
fumigacion be remoued good spirits & euill spirits also dreadeth for
eich thing more loueth health then sicknes. And therefore it is said that
Sulphur remoueth both good spirits & euill. And this is probation &
pref [profit] after one way. And there [is] another way for lignum aloes
gathereth together the spirits of ligni aloes & none other. And Sulphur
chaseth them [143r] away & this is very reason. And then I say that
Sulphur gathereth together his proper spirits & none other & they be
full stronge & penetrate & thicke & be not seuerd or departed so soone
from a place. But and if a place were suffumed with Sulphur & then
were washen with water & suffumed wth ligno aloes, it doth draw
away the spirits of Sulphur & induceth or inledeth his owne.

And know thou that the spirit of Azet that is quickesilver & the spirit
of Thuris be contrary although spirits yet with all the deuills entreth &
thirleth rather then the spirit of Thuris wherefore euerich hath full
great might. And if thou wilt out draw the spirits, yet suffume thou
with thur & they shall go out. And so understand thou of all other
spirits good & euill.

And Salomon said know thou that as a phisitian putteth in a man good
pure oyntments & cleane, & they thirleth the body of a man & heleth,
So fumigacions thirleth the 4 Elemts & maketh to se & know heauenly
things which were euermore hevenly & wch descendeth from heauens
as be angells & spirits of the ayre & the souls of dead men & deuills of
lownesses & winds & spelunks [i.e. caves] & of deepnesses &
fantasies of desert places. Wherefore know thou that all spiritualls
with right fumigacion shall obey to thee & shall come to the & they
should do thy commandement.

And Hermes said that all things that was or is present or shall be
knoweth that the ouer nature ioyned with the nether by ordinance of
tyme & houre maketh one body & understanding & that he can
understand & know thilke things wherof creatures haue to liue &
themselfe to gouerne. Wherefore know thou that there be fumes that
chaseth away spirits & other that sleeth [K: steyeth] them, &
constreyneth [them] to come & other that quickeneth them &
strengtheneth & giueth might. And so by the contrary is some that
destroyeth them & taketh away their might. And this is the probacion

37 of 54 8/1/19, 8:28 PM
Sepher Raziel, Liber Salomonis (Sl. 3846) http://www.esotericarchives.com/raziel/raziel.ht...

of this for the fume of an herte chaseth them away & this he said upon
serpents. And that chaseth them away is fumus am~ce [? K: amnecae]
that is the fume of fecis of oyle. And that, that sleeth them is the
spettell of a fasting man. And therefore he said that fumigacion is
fullfilling of ayre which hath not body, nethles fume destroyeth things
that haue body. And so fumigacion suffise it to us in all things beneath.

And Raziel said, know thou that as water washeth all uncleanesse And
fire maketh liquid or molteth all mettalls & maketh clean & fineth.
And as the ayre is the life of a liueing man & the Earth sustayneth or
beareth ech body & nourisheth ech plant: So understand thou that
good Thymiama z. fumigacion is fullfilling in the worke to be the
invocations of spirits, & of other things & well proporcioned with
which Thymiama is confect or medled. And were made in eich houre
convenient or accordinge.

Dixit Salomon propter hoc pono horam & tempus &c. Salomon said
for this I put the houre & the tyme in the worke ffor in all houre in
which a man will speake to a king or to a prince, he may not speake to
them, neither in eich houre in which [143v] a Sonne axeth any thing of

Saturni in the day of Sabote [=Sabbath]. And so of other that be done
in invocacion of spirits & in all praysings of Angells. And the
fumigacion of Angells which is pure & cleane. Know thou that it is a
spirituall thing & liueing & fellowshiping to heauenly things. And
now said Veallia, know thou that no man ought to make fumigacion of
preciouse things, but if he were clene & with cleae waters well washen
1. dresse: direct or address.
& anoynted with precious oyntments which be made cleanly & with
preciouse things & cera alba [=white wax], balsamo, crono, & musco,

oyntment be it well kept & well warded in a cleane place. Of (?) him
after that also the clothings be cleane white, new, & good not broken
neither blacke. And then suffume he himself worshippfully & the

collectors of spirits & placacions of them.

Here beginneth the 5 booke that treateth of

Dixit Salomon revelatum fuit mihi de isto libro &c. Salomon
said It was shewed to me of this booke of Raziel & of many angells
after that I had this booke & of these wch norished powers & vertues &
matter & stength of ye 7 potestates aboue & that by the mandement
[mandment: commandment] & obedience of the Creator or maker of
the world. And they said thus. Salomon thou hast axed witte &
wisedome & fairenes & might in will complete & nempned full great
for euermore upon Earths. And know thou that all kings & lesse men
that should come after thee & wch should here speake of thee, shall
loue thee, & worship thee & should set price of thee & shall prayse
thee & keep thou this booke & worke thou with it with reuerence and
cleannesse. And Salomon said to the benigne Angell Natanael, which
hath might in the ayre, And this evermore was fellowshipped to
Salomon. / which be thilke 7 bodies which be seene aboue bright,
faire, cleane & cleare, wch ceaseth neuer to go, neither the wayes of

them be void & they faileth neuer, but euermore dureth goynge their
wayes. And it that taryeth more in going his way fulfilleth it in 30
yeares. And then they appeare such as they were before & which went
before thus they sawe. And thus it is said that they should be how long
god would. And thus I say of an 100 yeares & a 1000 that they neuer
be changed neither in quantity nor in colour, nor in might nor in
moveing, but we haue found them as the prophetts & other old men
founden. An[d] the angell Natanael said to Salomon, the 7 bright
bodies which thou seest aboue be put beneath & they in going upward
holdeth in ballance or in rule the 4 elemts beneath. And therfore the
moueing of them cesseth not for such might the Creator gaue to them.
And know thou that the matter of them is simple & pure without
corruption & euermore durable. And the state of them is likened to the
Lord that formed them, although they obey to him in all things. And
Natanael said to Solomon know thou that in the heauens of these 7
bright bodies be angells [152r] without number mighty in all things.
And everiche of them hath his proper mighte & his strength & vertue.
And they be unlike among themself as men together or other beasts. &
eueriche serueth of his office to the Creator that formed them or made
them. And Salomon said to Nathanael wch is the life or the might or
the seruice that these angells doth. And Nathanaell said the life of
them is of cleannesse of Oryson, & of trustines & the might of them is
of suffumigii, holocausti & sacraficii. And the seruice of them is, that
when the Creator woll they go from place to place when any cleane
man hath prayed [to] the Creator as it beseemeth. And then they do
good or Euill as the Creator woll for in them is power, scyence & will
complete. And Salomon said which be these 7 bright bodies & how be
they named. And of what things serueth euerich. And Nathanael said
that same that Raziel said to Adam. The higher of these that goeth
slower is said Sabaday. And all the Remes of his heauen be full of yse
[ice], snow, & haile, & wrath, rancor, & coldnes, & all the Angells that
be there clothed with darknes full derke & the greatnes of them be full
high & full long & small & upon the Earthes & upon deuills & upon
darknesses & coldnesses & dryness. And this hath power upon winds
of this nature & they have power of doing good & euill & the Angell
of it is Boel crowned upon all other.

In the second heauen standeth Zedet [Zedek] and all the Remes of
hym.

Dixit Salomon Rex filius Regis Dauid &c. Salomon the king the Sunn
of Dauid the king said, that was king of Jerusalem, of Surye &

vertue, & effect & of all humour hool [whole] & health & there may
be sufficient fulfillinge. And he said I see that the most fame is of wise
men & prophetes by words & bookes which they haue lest into
testimony of them. And I see that the sonns of Adam, & of Hermes &
of Noe [=Noah] & their sonns & many of other prophets haue left
bookes by their death by which they should claryfy their fame, &
anentes men glory should remayne. And I see that my father king
David compowned or made some booke in which bee contayned all
orysons which he might knowe & find, which sothely latin men that is
Romayns clepeth the saut' [psalter]. Which sith it is of prayers alone &
of holy names of the Creator it is named the head of Orisons. In the
same booke king Dauid wrote all things what euer he might knowe of
Patriarkes & old wise men to the praysing of the Creatour. I sothly
king Salomon long studying in holy words [152v] which vertues &
miracles I found to be, while there is fullfilled in eich working trust &
will. And I saw the books in which while I studied long I know Adam
& hermes & Noe [=Noah] & Moyses & many other most wise men, I
know of great privitees & the vertues of his books.

Cum ergo veteres & antiquos Sapientes &c. When go

[therefore] I understode old wise men to haue made books how or with
what witt or with what art I might know the sciences of all the foresaid
I enquired. And there answered some old man of good minde &
understanding which was cleped Zebraymayl. And the king said
Adam had a maker & Mr that is to wite or Lord maker & Gabriel to
Mr. ffurthermore Hermes the discreete & most wise man & Moyses
had a Mr & a freind that is to wit Crotum. Aaron sothly had a freind
of which go [therefore] is made resistence that a wise man may not be
without a Mr. how arrettest yu tho to [thou too] mow [may] be wise
wth out Mr But that thou be wise, these I know to be necessary to thee.
A wise Mr & discreete, longe, & continuall study many olde bookes of
great wise men made, oft & ofter ouer red perfitt & amended, glad &
continuall health of thy body, long life without cures [cares?] &
trauayles quiete.

Salomon said to the wise man, is not this possible to be done by a

sharter way then that thou hast said aboue. Zebraymayl answered,
king, by a lighter & shorter way then this ne unknow thou not to mowe
be done. To whom Salomon [said,] how therefore. To whom the wise
man [replied,] open thou privily & fully the arke of the Testament
noman knowing or understanding. In which all secrets or priuitees &
old wisdomes & words of great power & of vertue thou shalt find. By
which not only thou shalt know things a passed but those that be
present and those that be to come. Salomon answered, for this that
thou hast answered to me I giue thancks to that high & blessed Creator

the Reme or reigning is & shallbe of whom all works be good And of
whom the will ouer all is free sith there is none that may againe say to

Salomon trowinge [153r] or trustinge to Zebraymayl made the arke of

the testamony [testament] to be brought before him. And he sought all
the books of Moysy [=Moses] & of Aaron, of Adam, & Noe [=Noah],
& of their sons & of hermes & of other prophets, & all other which he
might find of the miracles of Words & the vertues of them. And he
sought all the old idolls of heathen men & Images of divers tongs
hauing writeings & all things grauen which might be founde by all
parts of the world he made in his palace to be gathered together. And
he brought forth Mrs of euerych of the 72 on which should expownd to
him privy letters or hid y. c. in ebrue [Hebrew], Caldey, Cyriac
[Syriac,] greeke written. And to him they should expowne that were
hidde. And when the letters were expownded he saw the nure parte to
accord with it in vertues of wordes.

Rex ergo Salomon fecit archam nocte quadam apperiri &c.

Therefore [King] Salomon made the arke some night to be opened,
that in the arke with reasons afterward we should be learned. Salomon
said after that the soueraigne & the allmighty Creator had infused the
grace of his spirit in me. I opened the arke of the Testament in which I
found all things which long and studiously I had sought, Among which 1. Cleped: named.
I found the booke which is cleped1 Raziel which the Creator sent to
Adam by the angell Raziel when upon the brincks of the floud of 2. K: Orisons.

sinnes he besought. And I found the booke which the Creator gaue to
Moyses in the hill, when he made him partnes of his priuites in which
3 books, that is 3 reasons2 I found.

The first the prophets clepeth Semiphoras which the Creator gaue to
Adam in paradise. The 2 booke is wch the Creator gaue to Adam in

letters which Moyses wrought* for the synne of the people brake. In
the ground sothly 3 of the Arke I founde some golden tables quadrate
or 4 cornered in which were 15 preciouse stones 12 tribes or lynages
of Israel by similitude likened, & in euerich stone were written the
holy high names of the Creator of the booke Semyforas [Semiphoras]
outdrawen. And I found sund (?) boxe of marble haueing greene
colour as Jaspis coloured. And in this boxe were 7 figures & in eich
figure 7 great & vertuous names of the Creator to Moyses told. And
other 7 which the Creator taught Adam in paradise. And this is a secret
or privity wch much leyned (? K: leaned) & couered ought worlly [K:
worshipfully] to be kept. I founde also about the extremities of the
Arke 24 rings with names & figures of the Creator written Semiforas
with diuers colours written or figured. I my self Salomon haue minde
[153v] to haue had one of thilke rings in which I know to haue found
such vertue when I said make to rayne, it reigned, whan I said est of
thou hast made to rayne, so make thilke rayne to cease, it ceased. And
beside Jerusalem the same reme aswell of tempests as of raynes it did
or made. And Salomon said I found Semoforas with wch Moyses made
the plagues in Egypt with wch he dryed the red Sea, wth wch he drew
out water of the stone, wth wch he knew all the cleanesses of his people
with which he ouercame princes & kings & mighty men wth wch what
euer he would do he did. And that he wold destroy he destroyed, wth
wch what euer els good or of euil he would he fullfilled at his owne
will.

Capitulum Explanationis istius nominis

Semoforas &c The Capliter [chapter] of Explanation of this
name Semiforum &c. it is that angells & deuells & windes & men as
well quicke as dead. And all spiritts & all bodies dredeth Semiforas
sothly is said the first secret or priuily, & great old & muchy leyned &
hid of great vertue & power to gett what euer he woud. Semiforas is a
word which ought not to be shewed to all men meither by hit but with
great necessity or anguish ought any man to worke. And then with
dread of the Creator he ought cleanly & meekely & deuoutly to name
it.Also Semiforas is roote & begining & fundament of Orison,
ensample of good life, trust of mans body the Orison or prayer of a
iust man the Creator dreadinge. Salomon said aboue Sem~ [Semiforas]
these be necessary wth meeknes fastinge, wth Orison, trust, wth charity,
cleanesse with patience meekenes & constance of a man wth not wch
you might worke nothing with wch what euer thou wolt thou shalt get
when all vertues in workinge by Sem~ ought to be, netheles these 7
that in meekenes truelly, pacience abstinence, trust, charity, mercy
ought in him principally to be had or to abounde.

that we be bright or cleane of body & in trust stedfast & from falsnes

Incipiunt lre~ [=litterae] & verba & nomina

l~res [letters] & words & names of Semoforas [Semiphoras] which
god the Creator gaue to Adam in paradise in wch be 4 letters wch to the

the 4 natures of beastes be likend. Such they be ‫יהיהיהיה‬

YHYHYHYH [in Hebrew letters] & by these letters pytiously &
deuotly & meekly name thou that thy peticion in all things be
fullfilled. Salomon said there be said to be 7 Semoforas. And the first
is the Semoforas of Adam in which be contayned 4 chapters. The first
is when Adam spake with the Creator in paradise. The 2 is when he
spake with the Angells. The 3 when he spake with the deuills. The 4th
when he spake with men & with foules & fishes & beasts & reptiles &
wild beasts. The 5 whwn he spake with seeds & herbs & trees & all
waxing things. The 6 when he spake with wynds & with the 4
Elements. The 7 when he spake with the Sunne & the Moone & the
starrs. And by these 7 vertues of Semoforas what euer he would do he
did. And wt euer he wold destroy he destroyed. And this Semoforas
Adam had when the Creator inspired grace in to him.

The first Semoforas.

Primus Semoforas est quem Creator Adam

formavit &c. The first Semophoras is when the Creator formed
Adam & him in paradise putting nempned or named [corrupt Hebrew] 1. Perhaps IAVA as in OP3.11.

declared. If in great necessity or need thou namest this name meekly &
deuotely before the Creator grace & helpe ne doubt thou not to finde.
