Record summary
The Lesser Key of Solomon, or Lemegeton, is an early modern compilation conventionally divided into sections including the Ars Goetia, Ars Theurgia-Goetia, Ars Paulina, and Ars Almadel. It catalogs spirits, seals, ritual procedures, planetary beings, and angelic hierarchies under Solomonic authority. Researchers can compare its classificatory structure with earlier magical texts and later ceremonial occultism. The compilation’s authorship, date, and internal relationship among sections remain uncertain, while many popular presentations derive from modern editions rather than direct manuscript study.
