Record summary
The Munich Manual of Demonic Magic, preserved as Bavarian State Library manuscript Clm 849, is a late medieval collection of ritual procedures, prayers, names, and conjurations associated with demonic or spirit magic. It is useful for comparison because it shows how practical magical texts circulated in manuscript form alongside clerical learning, rather than only through famous printed grimoires. Its contents, dating, and compilation layers must be established from the manuscript itself. Researchers should consult a catalogue or critical edition before assigning every section to one author or tradition.
