A translation of an eighteenth-century French manuscript grimoire that uses the Psalms of David for magical purposes, combining them with seals, amulets, angelic names and prayers. Each psalm is given a practical use and associated ritual. The editors trace the text's links with the Jewish Shimmush Tehillim and Christian psalm magic. A useful source for the devotional, psalm-based side of the grimoire tradition.
