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:

Of these, Sloane 3854 is the most reliable, complete, and readable.

The following text is from the Royal MS (abbreviated R) with variant readings from Sl.3885 (abbreviated S), Sl.3854 (designated S2), and Sl.3853 (designated S3).

Variants are of some interest. Note the recurring sound changes: "i" (R manuscript) becomes "g" (S manuscript), e.g. "ienomos" [R] = "genomos" [S], ..iel [r] = ..ihel [S], e.g. "kariel" [r] = "karihel" [S]; also frequent interchange of y to i and i to y; ..am [r] = ..um [S], e.g. "lemeliham" [r] = "lemelihum" [S]. possible evidence of mss tradition in some other script [Hebrew or Greek?] or oral tradition.

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 */*/*/*/*/*/*

[Prologue]

When wicked spirits were gathered together, intending to send devils into the hearts of men, to the intent they would destroy all things profitable for mankind, and to corrupt all the whole world, even to the uttermost of their power, sowing hypocrise and envy, and rooting bishops and prelates in pride, even the pope himself and his cardinals, which gathering themselves together said one to another as here follows:

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, The health which the Lord has given his people is now through magic and negromancy turned into the damnation of all people. For even the magians themselves, being intoxicated and blinded by the devil, and contrary to the order of Christ's Church, and transgressing the commandment of God, which says, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, but him only shalt thou 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, But these negromancers or magians, denying the sacrifice due to God, and in tempting him have done sacrifice to devils, and abused His Name in calling of them, contrary to the profession made at there baptism, for there it is said, "Forsake the devil and all his pomps." But these magians and negromancers do not follow only the pomps and works of Satan, but have also brought all people through their marvellous illusions into the errors, drawing the ignorant and such like into the damnation both of soul and body, and they thinking this for no other purpose but that by this they should destroy all other sciences.
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. It is thought right therefore to pluck up and utterly to destroy this deadly root, and all the followers of this art, but they through the instigation of the devil, and being moved with envy and covetousnes under the similitude of truth, they did publish and spread abroad the falsehood, speaking false and unlikely things. For it is not possible that a wicked and unclean man should work truely in this art, for men are not bound to spirits, but the spirits are constrained against their wills to answer men that are cleansed or clean, and to fulfill their requests. Yet against all those wills we have gone about to set forth the principles of this art, and the cause of truth, and for that cause thay had condemned this art and judged us to death.
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, We therefore, through God's sufferance, having a foreknowledge of that judgement, knowing also that by it should follow much mischief, and that it was impossible to us to escape the hands of the people by our own strength without the help of spirits, doubting [i.e. fearing] that a greater danger would follow upon it, for the wicked power of the spirits at our command could have destroyed them [i.e. those who condemned us] all utterly at once.
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, Wherefore, we called a general council of all the masters. And out of the which council of 811 masters which came out of Naples, Athens, and Toledo, we did choose one whose name was Honorius, the son of Euclid, master of the Thebians, in the which city this art was read, that he should work for us in this said art. And he through the council of a certain angel whose name was Hocroel, did write seven volumes of art magic, giving to us the kernel, and to others the shells. Out of the which books he drew out 93 chapters, in the which is briefly contained the effect of this art, of the which chapters he made a book which we do call The Sacred or Sworn Book for this cause, for in it is contained the 100 sacred names of God, and therefor it is called sacred, as you would say "made of holy things," or else because by this book he came to the knowledge of sacred or holy things, or else because it was consecrated by angels, or else because the angel Hocroel did declare and show him that 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 */*/*/*/*/*

[The oath]

Then the princes and prelates being pacified with burning of certain fables or trifles, thought verily that this art had been utterly destroyed, and therefore we being somewhat moved, made this oath among ourselves:

  • First, that this book should be delivered to no man until such time as the master of the art were in jeopardy of death, and
  • That it should be copied but to three at the most, and
  • That it should be delivered to no woman, nor to any man except he were of lawful age, and he should also be both Godly and faithful, whose Godly behavior had been tried for the space of a whole year, and
  • That this book should no more hereafter be destroyed, but that it should be restored again to the honor, or to his successors, and
  • If there cannot be found an able and a sufficient man to whom this booke might be delivered, that then the master bind his executors by a strong oath to bury it with him in his grave, or else he shall himself while he lives bury it himself in some place honestly and cleanly, and never after to reveal the place by any curcumstances to any creature, and
  • If the master shall have nide of any scholars or will prove then any man of ways that for to fulfill his commandments if need be, they shall even suffer death rather than they will declare either the sayings or doings of their master, or that he knows any such things, nor declares any such thing by any man of circumstances. And like as a father causes one of his sons to love another, even so does the master unite and knit together his disciples or scholars in concord and love, so that always the one shall help to bear the others burden, nor one shall not reveal the secrets of another, but they shall be faithful of one mind and concord, and he that he shall truely perform, observe, and keep every article of his oath.
And for this cause this [book] is called The Sworn Book

The chapters of the fourth work.

  1. To deliver them that be in prison,
  2. To lock again the gates of the castle,
  3. To have all treasures metals, precious stones, and all other thinges hidden in the ground,
  4. Of the appearing of dead bodies that they seem to arise again and to speak,
  5. That you should think beasts to appear created againe of the earth

But these two chapters have we taken away, because they be against the will of God.

Thus ends the notes of all the chapters.

Here begins the book.


we therfore thorow godes helpe intendinge to folow the stepps and precepes of salomon, therfore to thy receyuing of suche an highe misterye we prefess to be oone chiffe princyple or begininge. note therfore that the first and chiffe princyple or begininge is the devyne maiestye, and the trew invocatyon must cume frome the very faythe of the harte, the which faythe the workes shall declare, [6v] ffor salomon sayde there is one only god one mighte, or power, oone faythe, of whome oone worke, oone princyple or begininge, and of whome the prefectyon and effecte of every worke dothe comme althoughe this be deuyded into many parts, ffor lyke as all the holle partes doo saver and smel of the body even to lyke wyse dothe of these thinges comme all perfectyon and effect */*/*/*

We therefore, through God's help, intending to follow the steps and precepts of Solomon, therefore to your receiving of such a high mystery, we profess to be one chief principal or beginning. Note therefore that the first and chief principal or beginning is the Divine Majesty, and the true invocation must come from the very faith of the heart, the which faith the works shall declare. For Solomon said there is one only God, one might or power, one faith, of whom one work, one principal or beginning, and of whom the perfection and effect of every work comes, although this be divided into many parts. For like as all the whole parts do savour and smell of the body, even so likewise of these things come all perfection and effect.
in the name therfore of the true and lyuing gode which is alpha et omega ye beginninge and the ending which is the father the sonne, and the holy gost *3* persones and on god the gyuer off lyffe and the destroyer off dethe for he destroyed oure dethe and thrughe his resurrectyon restored us agayne to lyffe */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* In the name therefore of the true and living God, who is Alpha and Omega the beginning and the ending, which is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, three persons and one God, the giver of life, and the destroyer of death. For he destroyed our death and through his resurrection restored us again to life.
off the makinge off the seale of god, for the knowledge of the first parte, of the knowledge of the deytye, for the knowledge of ye *2* parte. in ye *3* parte of the vysyon of angells, the *4* of ye constrinkesyon, [7r] the *5* parte off the bownde of deadmen */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*

Of the making of the Seal of God, for the knowledge of the first part, of the knowledge of the diety, for the knowledge of the second part, in the third part of the vision of angels, the fourth of the constrinkesyon, the fifth part of the bonds of dead men.

off angels there are *3* kyndes */*/*/*/*/*

some be celestyall, and some of the ayre and some be of the earthe. off the celestyall there are also *2* kyndes somme of them doo serve god only and those be the *9* orders of angells that is to saye cherubin, and seraphin, trons, domynatyons, vertuse, princypates, and potestates, arkangells and angells off whome it is to be spoken amounge mortall men, for they will not be constrayned by any artyfysyall powr, and therfore they oughte nott to be invocated for they alwayes stande before the deuyne maiestye and are neuer seperated from his presens yet be cause the sowle of man was created with theme and to there lykeness, lookinge to be rewardyd with them maye through the gyfte and grace of god his bodye yet lyuing beholde the deuyne maiestye, and with them to prayse and to know god ye creator, and this knowledge is nott to know god in his magestye [7v] and power but ever as adame and the prophettes dyd know him,

Of angels there are three kinds. Some are celestial, some are of the air, and some are of the earth. Of the celestial, there are also two kinds. Some of them serve God only, and those are the nine orders of angels, that is to say, cherubin, seraphin, thrones, dominations, virtues, principates, potestates, archangels, and angels. Of whom it is to be spoken among mortal men, for they will not be constrained by any artificial power. And therefore they ought not be invocated, for they always stand before the Divine Majesty, and are never separated from His presence. Yet because the soul of man was created with them, and to there likeness, looking to be rewarded with them may through the gift and grace of God, his body yet living behold the Divine Majesty, and with them to praise and to know God the creator, and this knowledge is not to know God in his majesty and power, but ever as Adam and the prophets did know him.
but this is princypally to be noted that there are *3* kyndes off men yt worke in this arte jwes, christyans and pagans, the pagans doo sacryfyce to the sprites of the ayre and of the earthe but they doo nott constrayne or bynde them, but the sprites doo fayne them selves to be bownde by the wordes of there law, to the intent they maye make them to committ idoletrye, and neuer turne to the true faythe, and by cause there faythe is nought therfore there workes be nawght, he yt will worke after yt man must forsake the lyuing god, and must doo sacryfyce unto sprites and idolles for it is faythe that worketh in a man good or euill, wherfore it is sayde in the gospell ye faythe hathe made the saffe, the jwes doo in no wyse worke to obtayne the visyon of the deytye, for by the comminge of christe they lost there prehemynence nor they can nott comme to heauen, for the lorde dothe saye [8r] he that is nott baptysed shall be damned, and so in all angells they worke imperfectly, nor they canontt throughe there inuocatyons bringe any worke to effecte excepte they be liue in christe. ffor it is sayd by the prophet, when the kinge of kinges and the lorde of lordes is cume then shall youre anoyntinge cease which shulde neuer haue ceasyd yf they cowlde haue wroughte effectually by this arte, and so there workes are noughte, and althoughe the jwes in that yy are jwes are condemnyd of yet they doo worship the highe creator but nott after a dew sorte, yet thorow the powr of the holy names of god spirrites are constrayned to comme. but jwes be cause they are nott signed wt the signe of god that is to saye with the signe of the crosse therfore they sprites will not answere them trewly, therfore the christyan man only dothe worke trewly to cum to the vysyon of the deyte, and in all other workes. and althoughe *3* sortes of men doo worke by this arte magyke, yet [8v] it is nott to be thoughte yt there is any euill in this name magyan, for this same name magyan dothe signefy in the grike twunge a philosopher, and in the hebru twunge a scrybe, and in the latten twunge it signefyeth wyse and so this name of arte magyke is compownded of this worde magos wiche is as muche to saye as wyse and of ycos wiche by interpretasyon is knowledge for by it a man is made wyse, for by this arte a man maye know thinges present past and to come */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*

But this is principally to be noted, that there are three kinds of men that work in this art: Jews, Christians, and pagans. The pagans do sacrifice to the spirits of the air and of the earth, but they do not constrain or bind them, but the spirits do fain themselves to be bound by the words of their law, to the intent they may make them commit idolatry, and never turn to the true faith. And because their faith is nought, therefore their works are nought. He that will work after that man must forsake the living God, and must do sacrifice to spirits and idols. For it is faith that works in a man good or evil. Wherefore it is said in the Gospel, "your faith has made you safe."

The Jews do in no wise work to obtain the vision of the Diety, for by the coming of Christ they lost their preeminence, nor can they come to heaven, for the Lord says, he that is not baptized shall be damned. And so in all angels they work imperfectly. Nor can they through their invocations bring any work to effect, except they believe in Christ. For it is said by the prophet, "when the king of kings and the Lord of Lords is come, then shall your annointing cease," which should never have ceased if they could have wrought effectually by this art. And so theire works are nought. And although the Jews in that they are Jews are condemned, of yet they do worship the High Creator, but not after a due sort. Yet through the power of the holy names of God, spirits are constrained to come. But Jews because they are not signed with the sign of God, that is to say with the sign of the cross, therefore those spirits will not answer them truely.

Therefore, the Christian man only works truely to come to the vision of the Diety, and in all other works. And although three sorts of men do work by this art magic, yet it is not to be thought that there is any evil in this name Magian, for this same name Magian signifies in the Greek tongue a philosopher, and in the Hebrew tongue a scribe, and in the Latin tongue it signifies wise. And so this name of art magic is compounded of this word magos which is as much to say as 'wise,' and of ycos which by interpretation is 'knowledge.' For by it a man is made wise. For by this art a man may know things present, past, and to come.

By the inspiration of god, Solomon said: there is only one God, one faith, and one virtue, which the Lord intended to be revealed to men and distributed of this wise. The angel said to Solomon, "This shall you give to the people of Israel who also shall likewise give to others. So it has pleased the creator."

And the Lord commands it thus to be consecrated: § First, let the worker be clean, not polluted, and let him do it with devotion, not deceytfully. § Let him not eat nor drink till he has done his work. § And the blood wherewith it shall be written, first must be blessed as shall be said afterward. Then the seal must be [per]fumed with amber, musk, aloes, lapdanum, white and red mastick, olibanum margarith, and Frankincense, calling upon and praying to the Lord and all holy angels, by saying as follows:

[13v]
Now that we haue fynisshed the composityon or makinge of the seale of god, let us procede to know how we shall obtayne the visyon or sighte of the deite.
ffirst he yt shall worke must be very penitent and trewly confessed of all his sinnes. he muste vtterly forbere ye company of women and all there intycements, in so muche yt he maye nott looke upon them, ffor as salomon sayeth, it is better to abyde withe a bere or a lyon in there dennes then to be in a howse wt a wickyd woman, he maye kepe no company wt wicked or sinfull men, for as dauid sayethe wt ye holy thow shalte be holy, and wt the wicked thow shalte be wicked. therfore he muste leade a pure and clene lyffe. for dauid sayeth blyssed are the undefyled and those yt walke in the lawe of ye lorde, lett not his apparryll be filthe but rather new, or elles very cleane waschyd, salomon meanithe here by ye new garmentes vertu and purenes of lyffe, ffor god and his holy angells care for no wordely thinges, and that dothe appere, for the pore men doo soner worke effectually in this arte then the ryche men, but in this worke folowinge clene apparryll [14r] is necessarye, for angells doo abyde wt me~ and they be clene, and therfor they desyre to haue clene apparryll, and therfore salomon did speke generally aswell of the clennes of ye soule as of the clennes of apparryll, and let him that shall worke neuer be ydell least his harte doo the soner enclyne to synne for the scripture sayeth, be alwayes doinge some thinge lest ye be fownde ydle, and lett him alwayes praye unto god withe these prayers folowinge for the scripture sayethe blessed is the seruant whome the lorde when he commethe shall fynde wakinge */*/*/*/*/*

Now that we have finished the composition or making of the Seal of God, let us proceed to know how we shall obtain the vision or sight of the Diety.

First he that shall work must be very penitent and truly confessed of all his sins. He must utterly forbear the company of women and all their enticements, insomuch that he may not look upon them. For as Solomon says, "It is better to abide with a bear or a lion in their den than to be in a house with a wicked woman." He may keep no company with wicked or sinful men, for as David says, "With the holy you shall be holy, and with the wicked you shall be wicked." Therefore he must lead a pure and clean life. For David says, "blessed are the undefiled and those that walk in the law of the Lord." Let not his apparel be filthy, but rather new, or else very clean washed. Solomon means here by the new garments virtue and pureness of life, for God and his holy angels care for no worldly things, and that does appear (?). For the poor men do sooner work effectually in this art than the rich men. But in this work following clean apparel is necessary, for angels do abide with men and they be clean, and therefore they desire to have clean apparel. And therefore Salomon did speak generally both of the cleanness of the soul and of the cleanness of apparel. And let him that shall work never be idle, lest his heart do the sooner incline to sin. For the scripture says, "Be always doing something lest you be found idle." And let him always pray to God with these prayers following. For the scripture says, "blessed is the servant whom the Lord when he comes shall finde waking."

Bacce, cardamonum wax, put also with these things.

Hermes says that he found in an old book that these were the more suffumigations: thimiamate grecum, mastic, sandalus, galbanum, muscharlazerat, myrrh, and amber, and these be the collections of spirits. And he says there is no such suffumigation to call spirits as is ambra, lignum aloes, costus muscus, crocus, and the blood of a lapwing, with thimiamate mixed all together in equal portions, so that it be odiferus of the gums.

Before that, these three prayers following must be said over the blood. You must go [=face] towards Jerusalem, that is, Eastward, and you must say over the blood the exorcism that is [also] said over the salt which is put into holy water. And that must be said three [times], except that the names must be changed thus, "I exorcise thee O thou creature of blood", instead of "... thou creature of salt," which God commanded by Solomon to be put into the seal, instead of which God commanded by his prophet Helyzeus to be put into water, and so forth of the rest, and this exorcism thus said three [times], with a stole [=scarf] about your neck, then say the prayers following thrice. That done, the blood shall be consecrated, and meet [=suitable] for the seal.

Compare the following exorcism with that in Scot, Discovery of Witchcraft Book 15, chapter 15.
