Record summary
The Sworn Book of Honorius is a Latin ritual-magic text framed as a collective response by magicians seeking to preserve their art against ecclesiastical persecution. It contains prayers, conjurations, celestial hierarchies, visionary aims, and instructions for constructing magical books and circles. The text offers a useful comparison with Solomonic and angelological traditions because it presents magic through penitential Christian language. Its exact date, authorship, manuscript relationships, and degree of editorial reshaping are unsettled, and its narrative frame should not be read as a verified historical report.
