Record summary
The Testament of Solomon is a Greek pseudepigraphic narrative in which Solomon receives a ring and compels named demons to describe their powers, weaknesses, and astrological associations. It matters for comparing demonological classification, exorcistic narrative, Solomonic authority, and the relationship between literary framing and ritual use. The text survives in variant forms and may incorporate several layers rather than preserving a single original composition. It is a religious-magical literary work, not a contemporaneous court record. This is an AI-recalled lead, and its supernatural scenes should be described as textual claims.
