Record summary
The Heptameron is a short ritual-magic text organized around planetary days, hours, angels, circles, prayers, and conjurations. It was traditionally linked to the physician and astrologer Pietro d’Abano, but the attribution and textual history are uncertain, and the work circulated alongside broader Solomonic magic. This lead is useful for comparing calendrical ritual, angelic mediation, and the authority of learned authorship. Verification requires attention to early printed editions, manuscript witnesses, Latin terminology, and the difference between historical description and later occult reconstruction.
