Record summary
AI-recalled lead: The Munich Manual of Demonic Magic, commonly identified by the manuscript designation Clm 849, is a fifteenth-century German collection associated with conjurations, protective practices and learned demonological magic. It offers a concrete comparison point for how ritual knowledge circulated in manuscript culture before the Reformation and how clerical categories overlapped with vernacular magical practice. Questions concern compilation, intended users, scribal layers and the relation between formulaic text and actual performance. Its contents should be studied as historical prescription and belief, not verified spirit activity.
