Solomonic Magic & the Grimoires

Invoking Angels

Theurgic Ideas and Practices, Thirteenth to Sixteenth Centuries

by Claire Fanger · Claire Fanger (ed.)

A follow-up volume to Conjuring Spirits, this collection focuses on angelic rather than demonic magic in the late medieval and Renaissance West. Essays examine the Ars Notoria, John of Morigny's Book of Flowers, the Sworn Book of Honorius, Trithemius, John Dee and Jewish angelology, asking how practitioners understood prayer, vision and the role of angels as intermediaries. A rich scholarly resource on the theurgic strand of the Solomonic tradition.
